                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 1, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize 
Farney's Home and Building Center on its 60th anniversary.
  Gladyce and Vincent Farney established Farney's Home and Building 
Center in 1958, and the business has played an essential role in 
providing home tools and appliances to the community since. The Farneys 
built their business from the ground up and includes a lumber yard, 
building supplies, a hardware store and kitchen, and a bathroom and 
countertop design showroom. Now in its second generation, the family 
company is run by the couple's son, Reg Farney, but Gladyce and Vincent 
remain quite active in the business. In recognition of their many years 
in the hardware business, Gladyce and Vincent were awarded the 
Estwing's Golden Hammer Award in 2015.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I would like to congratulate 
Farney's Home and Building Center on its 60th anniversary. The Farney 
family sets a wonderful example for developing a prosperous small 
business in the North Country.
