                      Wednesday, November 20, 2019

  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it's my honor to recognize the Daily 
Globe in Ironwood, Michigan, upon the occasion of its 100th 
Anniversary. Through a century of community investment and growth, the 
Daily Globe has become an indispensable part of the Upper Peninsula.
  Seeing the need for a daily newspaper in the Western Upper Peninsula, 
Frank E. Noyes founded the Globe Publishing Company in the fall of 
1919. The Daily Globe's first edition was published on November 20th, 
1919. Its headline covered the tension between President Woodrow Wilson 
and the Senate regarding the proposed League of Nations following World 
War I. In 1936, construction began on its current location, under the 
leadership of Frank's son, Linwood. Over its century of operations, the 
Daily Globe would grow to be the local institution it is today.
  In addition to their daily publications, the Daily Globe publishes 
two annual visitors guides, sports previews, home improvement guides, 
and other specialty pieces. They have also found success in the 21st 
century, with a large online presence and daily updates to its website 
and social media. They provide a critical service to the people of 
Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties, and the impact of their work cannot be 
overstated. Day after day, the Daily Globe shows what can be achieved 
when a group of people work together for the betterment of their 
community. An open house will be held in honor of their centennial on 
November 20th.
  Madam Speaker, it's my honor to congratulate the Daily Globe in 
Ironwood for its 100 years of success, community growth, and service to 
the people of the Upper Peninsula. On behalf of my constituents, I wish 
it all the best as it ventures into the future.
