  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 100th 
Anniversary of Sines Nickel & Dime Store, a local institution in my 
home of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
  For 100 years, Sines has been family owned and operated, offering a 
chance for its customers to step back in time and find hundreds of 
antiques, many of which come right from the local community. As part of 
Sine's commitment to friendly and dependable service, breakfast and 
lunch are made from scratch and served daily at the Soda Fountain where 
friends and neighbors gather as they have for generations.
  Today, Sines continues to sell novelties of the past as they cope 
with the challenges that many small businesses across our nation face.
  The dedication and perseverance demonstrated by the Sine family in 
these difficult economic times serves as an example of the American 
entrepreneurial spirit which drives our economy. Sines Nickel & Dime 
Store is an example of dedication to serving its customers, I 
congratulate them on their 100 years of success and wish them many more 
to come.
