                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 20, 2018

  Mr. KATKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 90th 
anniversary of Haylor, Freyer & Coon, a small business in my district 
providing insurance assistance to residents across Upstate New York.
  Haylor, Freyer & Coon was founded in 1928 when Barney E. Haylor and 
James McLusky opened a small four-person agency at the Herald Building 
in Syracuse, New York. Following the passing of Mr. McLusky, Barney 
Haylor partnered with Clayton F. Freyer in 1946 and Douglas Coon 
shortly after to establish the corporation that exists today. As time 
progressed, HF&C began to expand its presence by partnering with other 
local agencies across the state. Following the establishment of its 
Northern Divisions in 1984, Haylor, Freyer, & Coon grew to become the 
largest independently owned insurance agency in the state.
  Today, Haylor, Freyer & Coon remains a leader within the insurance 
industry of Central New York. It has also been ISO 9001 certified by 
the International Standards Organization, which recognizes the agency's 
quality management principles and its strong customer focus. Staffed 
with a team of approximately 180 employees and 6 corporate offices, 
HF&C continues to be a valuable institution in the Central New York 
community.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the House to join me in 
celebrating Haylor, Freyer & Coon's go years of service to the state of 
New York. As one of the top 100 independently owned insurance agencies 
in the United States, HF&C continues to stay true to the principles it 
was found upon nine decades ago.
