is an accurate description of a Cleveland business that began more than five decades ago. Wholesale Supply Group, Inc. was founded in 1942 when Roy Higgins and Gene Davis began making concrete blocks. The block making business soon developed into Davis and Higgins Building Supply. Wholesale Supply Group's current president, Lloyd Rogers, joined Davis and Higgins in 1959. Shortly thereafter, plumbing supplies were added to their offerings, then electrical supplies. Their goal was to enable builders to purchase all their supplies at one location. Rogers became the first president of Cleveland Electrical Supply. These individual companies — building supplies, plumbing supplies and electrical supplies — operated as 'stand-alone' businesses for several years. In the early 1970s the building supply division was closed, and in August 1976 the plumbing and electrical businesses were incorporated under one umbrella — Wholesale Supply Group, Inc. — with Lloyd Rogers as president/chairman. Although 'Wholesale' is in the name, 'walk-in' customers are a welcome, large part of our business. Wholesale Supply Group, Inc. sells to home owners, industry, government agencies, school systems, plants, local contractors, and professional electricians and plumbers.
