The History of the
Cassity Jones Companies

 

The Beginning

Cassity Jones, the founder of the company now known as Cassity Jones Inc., began selling lumber and building material from a leased facility in Carthage, Texas in 1950. Prior to opening that first store, he and his brother Thomas were in the home building business, the wholesale grocery business and the truck and tractor business.

During the 50’s and early 60’s, their business prospered by building housing projects, developing real estate and operating the lumber company. In the mid 60’s, they sold the truck and tractor business and divided the assets of the company with Cassity keeping the Carthage Lumber Company and Thomas taking the newly acquired North Street Lumber Company in Nacogdoches, Texas.

Cassity soon acquitted a “hole in the wall” lumber company in Longview, Texas and began selling lumber to homebuilders. In 1971, Cassity opened his first modern full line building material store in Carthage. This move was followed by a major remodel and expansion to the Longview store in 1973.

The company operates seven lumber yards and a door fabrication plant in the East Texas and Dallas markets. The general offices are located in Longview, Texas.

 

Cassity Jones Lumber Company has been under the continuous ownership of the Cassity Jones family since its inception. The company is affiliated through common ownership with four other businesses; A-1 Rent All, Home Plus Flooring, Winn Tile Company, and Builders Capital Ltd.

Transitions

In 1988, Cassity sold his interest in Cassity Jones Lumber to his children, but remained heavily involved in the business by serving as chairman of the board and spearheading special projects.

In response to the needs of residential and commercial builders, the company branched out and formed additional service companies. Those businesses are A-1 Rent All, Home Plus Flooring, Winn Tile Company, and Builders Capital Ltd.

Today, the Cassity Jones family of companies currently consists of 7 lumber and building material stores, 6 floor covering operations, 4 equipment rental businesses, a commercial flooring company, and a finance company. With corporate headquarters in Longview, these businesses operate throughout the Northeast Texas and Dallas area markets.
