Jamison, Jr. grew the company (renamed the Jamison Cold Storage Door Company) through expanding markets and the purchase of competitors. Jamison Door became one of Hagerstown's largest businesses, manufacturing over a million doors. In 1942, leadership passed to a third generation when the founder's grandson, John III, was elected president of the company.
