  Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Tappan Chairs of 
Sandwich as they celebrate their bicentennial. First opened in 1819 by 
Abraham Tappan, Tappan Chairs has become a pillar in the Sandwich 
community.
  This business stayed in the Tappan family for over a hundred years 
through the work of the founder's son, Daniel, and grandsons, Walter 
and Winthrop. Although it has changed owners since those early days, 
the style and durability of Tappan Chairs has remained, and they are 
still produced on the same vintage equipment that they were crafted on 
so many generations ago.
  The success and longevity of Tappan Chairs is a testament to the 
enduring work ethic of its owners, who for generation after generation, 
stepped in to take its mantel. On behalf of my constituents in New 
Hampshire's First Congressional District, I congratulate everyone at 
Tappan Chairs on an exciting anniversary. I hope that they are able to 
celebrate this impressive milestone and wish them the best of luck in 
their next 200 years of business! I thank them for all that they do to 
make the Granite State such a wonderful place to work, live, and play.
