                       Tuesday, February 25, 2014

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute 
to Tasty Baking Company, better known as TASTYKAKE, as it celebrates 
its 100th Birthday today. Since TASTYKAKE was formed, it has been an 
integral ingredient to the great city of Philadelphia, as well as 
surrounding areas along the East Coast.
  TASTYKAKE was founded in 1914 by baker Philip J. Baur and egg 
salesman Herbert T. Morris. The brand name was originally 
conceptualized by Morris' wife commenting on how she found the duo's 
baked goods to be ``tasty.'' Starting in a small bakery in 
Philadelphia, and only using the finest and freshest of ingredients, 
the company quickly became a phenomenon.
  TASTYKAKE, a wholly owned subsidiary of Flowers Foods, Inc., is a 
success story not only for Philadelphia, but for our nation as a whole. 
The company employs thousands, has multiple production locations in 
Philadelphia and Chester County, and contributes everyday to the 
success of America. From honey buns to chocolate bells, cupcakes to 
donuts, thousands of citizens are enriched by these tasty baked goods. 
TASTYKAKE is memorializing this special event by serving their goods to 
those who serve the citizens of Philadelphia, including local 
charities, police and fire departments, and customers. This act 
conceptualizes the American dream: that through hard work and 
dedication, everybody has a chance to make their dream succeed.
  I invite you and all of my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
the Tasty Baking Company and offering our thanks to the company that 
has made many of our lives much sweeter.
