A Personal Message

Dear Friends:

We want to thank all our customers for their continued support of The Kelley Co -- what a great 2008 it was. We look forward to serving the beekeeping community with great quality products for years to come.  For those of you not familiar with The Kelley Company, here is a bit of background.  The founders of the company, Walter and Ida Babin Kelley began their business in Houma, Louisiana in 1924.  They moved to Paducah, Kentucky in 1934 and then to the small community of Clarkson (located in Grayson County), Kentucky in 1952, where the business continues today.

After Mrs. Kelley's death in 1978, Walter Kelley made public their desire to have the legacy of their life's work continue to benefit Grayson County and its residents. The owners wishes of the company benefiting Grayson County has come true and the hospital has sold the rights to the Kelley Co. Since 12/2008, the business and assets are again privately held by local Grayson County residents and all the great folks that have worked for Kelley's are still here and working at making it an even stronger company continuing with it's quality products and first rate customer service..

We at Kelley's continue the proud tradition of Walter and Ida Kelley of providing the same quality products and fast, efficient, dependable service that has kept The Kelley Company in business more than eighty years.

We welcome you to visit our plant, tour our facility and become a partner in keeping the Kelley Company alive and well, far into the future.

From all of us @

The Walter T. Kelley Co.
