Shaw & Boehler Florists are celebrating their
85th year in business in Auburn in 2006. Orig-
inally started by Earl Shaw and Winfield H.
Boehler in 1921, they purchased a business in
Cortland in 1926, and Earl Shaw moved there
to manage it. The partnership continued until
1957 when Earl Shaw retired and sold his share.
At that time Winfield C. Boehler, employed
there since graduation from Cornell Universi-
ty in 1950, became a partner with his father
until his fathers death in 1969. He then became
proprietor.
Shaw And Boehler has seen many changes
through the years from a large wholesale and
smaller retail business at the start, to a total
retail business at the present time. A large por-
tion of their greenhouse range was dismantled
due to inefficiency of the older style buildings,
and increased cost of maintenance and fuel.
They now buy flowers of numerous varieties
from all over the world, making available to
their customers a far greater choice than before.
In 1970 they added a new showroom to
the front of the existing building, giving their cus-
tomers a more inviting area to browse. One
third of their existing green house structure has
been converted to a permanent showroom for
holidays: A Christmas Wonderland becomes an
array of spring blossoms for Easter and Moth-
er's Day.
1983 Marked a milestone in Shaw and
Boehlers history, when, W. C. Boehler married
Carolyn Dahl Siracusa, who had been an employ-
ee for twenty years. Carolyn oversees the Bridal
work and general day to day work. The fact
that they have second and third generation
brides, and several from the same families speaks
for her caring and expertise.
Flowers can express your feeling for all occa-
sions, better even, than words. For 85 years
Shaw & Boehler has strived for customer satis-
faction above all else, and Win and Carolyn
hope to continue to fill the needs of the com-
munity for years to come.
