We extend to the Woodstock Daily Sentinel our sincere congratulations upon its eighty years of loyal service to the people of this community.

THE DACY LUMBER COMPANY was originally organized by the late Mr. Charles F. Dacy at its present location, 220 N Jefferson St. In July, 1922, Mr. Dacy retired from active management and moved from Woodstock after reorganizing the business with a grou of Woodstock people as shareholders and William S. McConnell as President and Manager. Since that time, the McConnells have acquired a still larger interest in the business, and two sons, John W. & Robert M. McConnell are now associated with their father in its management.

Through years of experience in dealing with the public, we have learned that many problems arise which call for expert advice and assistance. This we will be pleased to supply without cost or obligation on your part. We have numerous plans of buildings in our files, but we never attempt to supplant the architect nor the builder. Whatever you plan to build, our services are yours. A deed to a home is much more to be desired than a box full of rent receipts, and today, with a small down payment, it may be acquired by the monthly payment plan. Come in and let's talk it over.
