5th generation takes helm at San Antonio Lumber
Josh Cascio reports
SAN ANTONIO, Fla. - Pasco County's 100-year-old lumber company is being honored for reaching a full century in business.
The San Antonio Lumber Company was started by Sarah Schrader’s great-great-grandfather, Herman Schrader, back in 1923.
In the 1950s, it became one of the largest Purina pet food dealers in Florida. Today, 100 years later, the local lumber company is still around and thriving.

Sarah Schrader is the 5th generation to run the family business.
"Not only do I have generations of our family, but we have generations of employees who have worked here and people of this community have grown up here for several generations," Schrader said.

It's more common to see businesses come and go, but Schrader says the secret to success is delivering a personal touch.
"We treat our customers like our family. We give exceptional service. We have really great employees and that is what has helped us go throughout the years," she said.
