             THE ELKAY MANUFACTURING CO.'S 75TH ANNIVERSARY

 Mr. SIMON. Mr. President, I would like to recognize the Elkay 
Manufacturing Co. which is celebrating its 75th year in business today. 
Elkay has enjoyed steady growth and solid achievements throughout its 
existence, including many industry innovations.
  Over the past 75 years, Elkay Manufacturing has grown from a small 
father-and-son manufacturer of handmade German silver sinks to the 
world leader in the sales of stainless steel sinks and water coolers. 
As a result of this continued success, employment at Elkay 
Manufacturing has grown from 3 employees in 1920 to 2,300 employees 
today.
  Elkay Manufacturing has consistently been able to recognize positive 
opportunities and respond to them. This strong awareness of both 
industry and customer needs is what has enabled Elkay to become a 
leader in the industry.
  I am proud to recognize the achievements of Elkay Manufacturing and 
its commitment to high standards, quality, and continuing innovation in 
the products it manufactures in Illinois and across the Nation.
