Jack Kelly, Jr. - 1946

JH Kelly's early founders, Jack H. Kelly Sr. and Jack H. Kelly, Jr. were hands on owners of the business. Regularly making the rounds of projects, photos like this are fun to look back on.  In this photo, Jack Jr. stands next to a steam line at the Weyerhaeuser Mill, Longview, WA.  This was "big pipe" back then, and still is today!
