                         Thursday, May 20, 2021

  Mr. CARSON. Madam Speaker, I rise to introduce a bill to honor the 
100th anniversary of the creation of Wonder Bread at Taggert Baking 
Company in Indianapolis, Indiana. This bicameral and bipartisan 
resolution recognizes that this storied company, with deep Indiana 
roots and its iconic Wonder Bread product, made lasting impacts on 
American life and showcase the best of Hoosier values.
  With hard work and a pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps story, the 
Taggart Brothers' creation of Wonder Bread in Indianapolis jumpstarted 
an innovation in commercial baking that touched American lives from the 
Midwest heartlands to our nation's coasts. Americans from all walks of 
life know Wonder Bread, and just as many enjoyed childhood memories 
with this iconic product and lunchbox favorite.
  Indianapolis has long been a haven for hard-working entrepreneurs 
with big ideas--from Madam CJ Walker to the current generation of 
visionaries. That Wonder Bread can tout Hoosier roots, is yet another 
example of our state's industrial and entrepreneurial spirit. I am 
honored to join many of my House colleagues who represent Indiana and 
Senator Braun, on the Senate side, in celebrating this legacy through 
our resolution commemorating and honoring the 100th Anniversary of the 
creation of Wonder Bread.
  I urge all my colleagues to join me in supporting this resolution.
