Commerce Ave - Longview, WA - 1923

As a company founded the same year as the town, 1923, JH Kelly is in the '23 Club and is the last remaining member!  Commerce Ave was the main street of the town and brought business and paying customers to the "new" downtown.  JH Kelly's first store in WA was on Commerce Ave.

Jack Kelly, Jr. - 1933 As the second generation owner of JH Kelly, Jack Jr.'s daughter, Jackie, married Dan Evans - a Standard Oil chemical engineer.  The eventual change in ownership exploded the business and allowed JH Kelly to enter new markets with great success!
The Daily News - You do That? Article - 1997 JH Kelly has evolved from a residential plumber to appliances, to industrial piping, to general contracting services.  This growth was a result of Dan Evans bringing in a team with a background in industrial, chemical/oil/gas experience.  This experience allowed JH Kelly to bring on more trades, take on more risk, and grow into a leading contractor in the Pacific Northwest.
