This legacy is not nostalgia.
It is a standard.
Some families pass down land.
Some pass down skills.
Ours passed down work.
The Lord family story begins in 1920 with Lord’s General Store in Hermon, Maine. Built on trust, honest goods, and the belief that a person’s word still mattered, it served as a cornerstone for the community.
As the years passed, the work continued.
The family later moved south to Clearwater, Florida, where those same values took shape as Lord Motors. Though the trade changed, the commitment remained the same: skilled hands, fair dealing, and service rooted in integrity.
Eventually, the road led us to Morris Chapel, Tennessee, where the legacy continues today through several family-run endeavors:
• Lord’s Soap & Skin
• Lord’s Handmade Signs
• Lord’s Garage & Mobile Mechanic
Each reflects the same conviction we’ve carried for over a century: do honest work, use honest materials, and serve people well.
Lord’s Soap & Skin was born out of that tradition. We create simple, time-tested products made by hand with carefully chosen ingredients. No shortcuts. No exaggerated claims. Just craftsmanship meant to serve real people with real needs.
We are Christian makers, and our faith quietly informs everything we do. Stewardship matters. Integrity matters. And how we treat people matters.
Since 1920, the Lord family tradition continues providing honest value by Christian makers.
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”
— Colossians 3:23
