                 RECOGNIZING OF NELSON WESTERBERG INC.

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HENRY J. HYDE

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 21, 2004

  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of the leading 
corporate citizens in my district, the Sixth Congressional District of 
Illinois. This year Nelson Westerberg Inc., headquartered in Elk Grove 
Village, Illinois, will celebrate its 100th anniversary. Not many 
companies reach this milestone, especially under the same family 
ownership, and that is why I want to commend Nelson Westerberg Inc., 
for reaching this historic milestone.
  Nelson Westerberg Inc. has been safeguarding and relocating people, 
products, and offices since 1904 when it opened its first office in 
downtown Chicago. In 1904, it moved coal, ice and ``some furniture'' 
via horse-drawn wagons. Today Nelson Westerberg Inc. has become one of 
the Nation's leading relocation companies, offering its services to 
individual households as well as corporate customers.
  Nelson Westerberg Inc., also is an active participant in community 
activities such as the Special Olympics and the Elk Grove Police 
Department's annual Truck Pull.
  Therefore, it is with great pleasure that today I acknowledge the 
accomplishments of this fourth-generation business as it celebrates its 
100th anniversary in 2004.
