  Mr. WEBSTER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize the 25th 
anniversary of Lake Tire and Auto, Inc. of Tavares, Florida. For a 
quarter of a century, the good people of Lake Tire and Auto have 
provided quality tire and auto service to residents across central 
Florida.
  Owned and operated by the father and son team of Ralph and Matt 
Smith, Lake Tire and Auto is the oldest family-owned business in the 
Golden Triangle area of Lake County. The Smiths' dedication to their 
customers and community is evident not only in their commitment to 
superior vehicle service, but through their involvement in community 
organizations and activities, such as Kiwanis and the Tavares Chamber 
of Commerce.
  Local small and family-owned businesses like this are the backbone of 
our economy, and I am pleased to congratulate Ralph and Matt Smith for 
their hard work and tireless efforts in serving their customers and 
their community. May their actions inspire others to follow in their 
footsteps.
