Whit Davis Lumber Co.

n 1953, Whit Davis and his wife, Miriam, invested $25,000 to purchase the assets of a small business called Oliver Lumber Company. They then changed the name to Whit Davis Lumber Company, where Miriam, who kept the books, and the yard-man/truck driver would be the only adult employees, in addition to Whit, during those early days. John A. Davis-III, current Chief Executive Officer, was in the 6th grade in 1953 and had 15 minutes to get to work after school.Miriam WhitWhit was a hard-nosed business-first kind of guy and expected nothing but dedicated hard work from all employees, including young John. An early company motto was, “We either have it in stock or we will get it for you tomorrow”. And another, “We Satisfy”. In 1957 the company moved to a larger location. In the next couple of decades, changes in the facility and additions were made as finances permitted. John A. Davis-III became General Manager in the mid 1970’s as his dad’s health began to fail.Whit Davis Lumber Plus currently partners with thousands of contractors in central Arkansas, supplying building materials and services such as garage door installation for the residential building community. The staff at Whit Davis Lumber Plus brings hundreds of years of experience in the industry.
