History
W. H. Shadburn spent nine years working for R. H. Allen Tannery. Before coming to Macon, he spent an additional nine years working with leather by manufacturing harnesses, collars, and saddles at Shadburn Brothers in Buford, Georgia. Then in 1919, he came to Macon to work with his brother in the leather business. Within three years, he was operating his own leather business. Mr. Shadburn's leather shop was located downtown on Third Street close to three livery stables which was advantageous because people would take their horse and buggy to work and store them there in the stables. Through the years, the harness industry faded as the automobile industry grew in popularity making automotive trim Mr. Shadburn's main line of business.
