The largest full-service building supplier in Sumter and the surrounding area — supplying the pros since 1930 with personal, professional service and nationally competitive prices.
Shaw Lumber Company is part of the Shaw family heritage — a reputation built on honesty, hard work, outstanding employees, and exemplary customer service, carried by three generations of the same family.
Paul Whitworth “Whit” Shaw — born in Alcolu, a Davidson College man from a family lumber business — moved to Sumter and founded Shaw Lumber Company, serving as its president until 1983.
Charles Lemmon Shaw, who had worked summers at the yard as a boy, joined as vice president after Davidson College and U.S. Army service in World War II, and became president upon his father's death.
Paul Whitworth Shaw II — McCallie School and Wofford College — joined his father and grandfather in the business in 1975. He now serves as the company's president.
Ninety-five years on, Shaw Lumber is the largest full-service building supplier in Sumter and the surrounding area — still family owned, still personal.
Whit Shaw's brother, Lt. Ervin D. Shaw — a pilot killed in action during World War I — is the namesake of Shaw Air Force Base, just west of Sumter.
