About Us

The original Dresser store was built on Railroad Street in 1883. In 1904, two leading

coal and grain concerns of Lee, the David Dresser store, mill and yard and the

business possessions of the Hull Coal and Grain Company, formed a new corporation called Dresser-Hull

Company. Eventually, the company expanded into the lumber and supply business

on the east and west sides of Railroad Street where the David Dresser Company was located.

Part of the present building, on the east side, was a livery stable. Another of the original buildings

is diagonally across from the present office. In 1953, Mr. and Mrs. W. Francis Shields

bought the corporation. In 1977, Richard, their son, became president of the corporation.

In 1987, Dresser-Hull Company acquired the former Gendell corporation property which includes a

100,000 square foot storage facility and 4 acres of outside storage. Over the years, Dresser-Hull Company has

developed a solid relationship with not only their customers but also their employees. We are very pleased to
