                   TRIBUTE TO S. GOLDBERG & CO., INC.

                                 ______


                       HON. ROBERT G. TORRICELLI

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 13, 1996

  Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. Speaker, I rise before the House today to honor a 
very special company. S. Goldberg & Co., Inc., rose from humble 
beginnings in 1896 to a position of prominence in the international 
business world. This month they will celebrate 100 years of business, 
an achievement I hope my colleagues will join me in recognizing.
  Samual Goldberg first begin making slippers in a tiny shop in New 
York City's lower east side in 1896, before moving to Hackensack, NJ, 
the company's present home. After Samuel's death in 1935, his son, 
Sidney, took over the business and began preparing his two sons, Roy 
and Stan, to eventually run the company. Thanks in large part to Roy 
and Stan's present leadership, S. Goldberg employs 450 people and has 
facilities in Bogota, NJ, and Hong Kong. This truly exemplifies the 
American dream, as S. Goldberg has achieved success through hard work 
and perseverance.
  This company is a leader in the footwear industry because it creates 
and markets innovative, high-quality footwear that is value priced for 
its consumers. Equally as important is S. Goldberg's strong commitment 
to domestic facilities and its worldwide sourcing capabilities. A true 
family business, S. Goldberg's dedicated employees have worked for the 
company for up to 60 years.
  Mr. Speaker, S. Goldberg & Co., Inc., is an inspiration to us all and 
to the international

business community. The company serves as evidence that the American 
dream is alive in Hackensack and is attainable anywhere with hard work 
and a commitment to quality.
