  • Montgomery Ward Robbery & Kidnapping
    LOCAL HISTORY WOODSTOCK & MCHENRY COUNTY Montgomery Ward Robbery & Kidnapping by Kirk Dawdy In 1926, the popular Montgomery Ward Mail Order Catalog Company broke with its mail-order-only tradition and successfully opened its first retail outlet store in Indiana. Two years later, 1928, the Stafford Furniture and Undertaking building on the west side of the square was razed to build a new Montgomery Ward retail store in Woodstock. Two years later, 1930, the Donnely residence and millinery shop just to the north of the store burned to the ground. In its’ place, an addition to the original Montgomery Ward building was built, doubling the store size. Today the building is known as the Woodstock Mall. Throughout the 1930s & ‘40s Woodstock’s Montgomery Ward was the largest department store in McHenry County and flourished. So much so, it became the target for a major robbery. The November 21st, 1949 issue of the Woodstock Sentinel reported “McHenry County’s crime wave which has caused considerable excitement in recent month turned into ‘big time’ status when a lone and desperate gunman staged one of the most daring holdups in Woodstock in many years.” The previous Saturday, November 19, 1949, soon after the Montgomery Ward store closed, a customer knocked on the front door saying he had left a package inside the store. Assistant Manager, Richard Henderson, recognized the man who had actually applied for a job several days earlier. After letting him inside, Henderson went to the basement to turn the store lights back on while store manager James Dwyer helped the customer retrieve his package.

WEA’S ROOTS DATE BACK TO THE FOUNDING OF WARNER BROS. RECORDS IN 1958 AS A DIVISION OF WARNER BROS. PICTURES. IN 1963, WARNER BROS. RECORDS PURCHASED FRANK SINATRA’S REPRISE RECORDS. AFTER WARNER BROS. WAS SOLD TO SEVEN ARTS PRODUCTIONS IN 1967 (FORMING WARNER BROS.-SEVEN ARTS), IT PURCHASED ATLANTIC RECORDS AS WELL AS ITS SUBSIDIARY ATCO RECORDS. IN 1969, THE WARNER BROS.-SEVEN ARTS COMPANY WAS SOLD TO THE KINNEY NATIONAL COMPANY. KINNEY MUSIC INTERNATIONAL (LATER CHANGING ITS NAME TO WARNER COMMUNICATIONS) COMBINED THE OPERATIONS OF ALL OF ITS RECORD LABELS, AND KINNEY CEO STEVE ROSS LED THE GROUP THROUGH ITS MOST SUCCESSFUL PERIOD, UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1994. IN 1969, ELEKTRA RECORDS BOSS JAC HOLZMAN APPROACHED ATLANTIC'S JERRY WEXLER TO SET UP A JOINT DISTRIBUTION NETWORK FOR WARNER, ELEKTRA, AND ATLANTIC. ATLANTIC RECORDS ALSO AGREED TO ASSIST WARNER BROS. IN ESTABLISHING OVERSEAS DIVISIONS, BUT RIVALRY WAS STILL A FACTOR —WHEN WARNER EXECUTIVE PHIL ROSE ARRIVED IN AUSTRALIA TO BEGIN SETTING UP AN AUSTRALIAN SUBSIDIARY, HE DISCOVERED THAT ONLY ONE WEEK EARLIER ATLANTIC HAD SIGNED A NEW FOUR-YEAR DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH FESTIVAL RECORDS. IN MARCH 1972, KINNEY MUSIC INTERNATIONAL WAS RENAMED WEA MUSIC INTERNATIONAL. DURING THE 1970S, THE WARNER GROUP BUILT UP A COMMANDING POSITION IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. IN 1970, IT BOUGHT ELEKTRA (FOUNDED BY HOLZMAN IN 1950) FOR $10 MILLION, ALONG WITH THE BUDGET CLASSICAL MUSIC LABEL NONESUCH RECORDS.

  • Spoon Submission
    Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, Sell a Song to Me Young people are writhing about, celebrating their youth and vitality with the music of the day. Hundreds of thousands of people, as far as the eye can see, have all descended upon one tiny community in New York about a hundred miles north of the big city. “Three Days of Peace and Music” are promised by the event coordinators. It’s August of 1969, and the Woodstock Music and Art Fair is set to give a generation a touchstone moment. They’re the children of the postwar period, convinced that their activism and outlook on social conventions have placed them at the cusp of a new age where corporatism and the conformity of society were going to fall by the wayside and give birth to a realization of the universe’s potential. I’m personally not very good at describing these sorts of transcendental emotions because, well, other attempts in my lifetime to reignite this spirit of freedom and oneness with space and time have had brand logos plastered all over them. Sure, there have been not just one but two attempts at putting on another concert like Woodstock in my lifetime, but they were sponsored heavily by Pepsi, broadcast with commercial breaks on cable and commodified through pay-per-view. The 1999 effort at a Woodstock festival descended into fiery riots and chaos when hundreds of thousands of people decided $4 bottles of water in the summer heat ($6 today!) and other logistical miscues on the part of the corporate sponsors weren’t so groovy.

  • 2018-2019 Town Report
    DEDICATION The Woodstock Select Board hereby dedicates this year’s Annual Report to the memory of Philip B. Swanson, Municipal Manager of Woodstock from 1985 to 2019. Phil arrived in Woodstock in July 1985 with boundless energy and an easy smile. Soon after coming to Woodstock, Phil joined the Fire Department. He wanted to be part of the community work with residents of Woodstock and get to know the people. As firefighter he responded to calls at all hours of the day and night, reported to Town Hall as soon as the fire scene was cleared and often attended a Board meeting later that evening. Phil loved his family beyond measure. After family he was dedicated to the people of Woodstock, the employees of the Town and Village and he worked tirelessly to keep Woodstock moving, and its people safe. Phil was a public servant above expectation. He remained neutral in most controversies and did not take sides. Phil was an active Rotarian, served the Woodstock Club as president and was recipient of Rotary’s Paul Harris Fellow Award. Phil was a volunteer for many Woodstock organizations. He personally represented Woodstock often when a presence was requested from Town leadership. He was a volunteer ski instructor with Woodstock Ski Runners for many years and very active in planning the annual July 4th festivities. As a member of the Federal DMORT Response team, Phil worked in New York after September 11, 2001 as part of the contingent from Woodstock. While he was away from Woodstock for several weeks, he remained at the helm through continual communication.

Abstract The Woodstock Festival in 1969 was, without a doubt, a significant event of the Sixties. The event was envisioned as a music festival, at which youngsters could socialise, and as an important social statement.
