                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 5, 2006

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to one of 
western New York's premier local corporate citizens, New Era Cap 
Company.
  New Era began producing hats in Buffalo in 1920 and has been one of 
the local communities most stable companies ever since.
  While the production and corporate facilities moved to the rural 
region surrounding the city of Buffalo, New Era has always remained 
loyal to western New York.
  New Era is and will always be a western New York company, and they 
proved that point once again when their new corporate headquarters 
opened in the heart of downtown Buffalo, Saturday, November 25.
  For their investments made into the community and their commitment to 
excellence, I pay tribute to the New Era Cap Company as they embark on 
another chapter in their marvelous history.
