Company Description

In 1897 L. W. Galbraith moved from Lampasses, TX to Carthage, with his large family, and opened a "racket" store (known as dime stores). During WW1 the racket store was closed except for the paint and wallpaper departments. L. W. ran the store until 1935. Two generations later, Robert L. Galbraith bought the Roush Paint Co. in Carthage, Missouri. When he took over the paint company he was 7000.00 in debt, lived with his parents in Joplin. In the first two years, he lost money, but by 1949 he made a livable profit and married Henryetta Smith. They had five children who all spent time helping out in the business growing up. Around 1965 he expanded into flooring and ceramic tile which is now the major part of the business. Over the years Gregg, Sandy, and Debbie have come back to work in the family business. In 2003 Gregg Galbraith took over the ownership of the business ownership of the business and expanded the commercial side to be a substantial part of the business today. Call today!
