Paitson Bros. started in 1922 when two of the five Paitson Brothers, Bob & Stanley Paitson, opened a garage and service station at 15th & 1st Avenue in Terre Haute. In 1928 they moved to 1200 Wabash Avenue and expanded into the hardware and heating business. In 1941 the hardware operation moved to 1142 Wabash Avenue with the heating division remaining at 1200 Wabash.
