  Shults Auto Group is the largest auto group in the Southern Tier. 
They have six dealerships carrying twelve different makes of vehicles 
and three pre-owned resale centers. The dealerships are located in 
Jamestown, Lakewood, Olean, and Dunkirk, New York and in Warren, 
Pennsylvania and they employ over three hundred people.
  Shults Auto Group has an extensive history in the City of Jamestown. 
In 1970, Edmond R. Shults and Donald A. Gage bought controlling 
interest in, what was, Berglund Chevrolet. In 1971, Mr. Shults 
purchased Mr. Gage's interest and the dealership became Ed Shults 
Chevrolet, Inc. In 1981, brothers Edmond R. Shults, Jr. and Tim M. 
Shults purchased Ed Shults Chevrolet, Inc., and Shults Auto Group has 
continued to grow.
  Community is extremely important to the Shults Family and Shults Auto 
Group employees. They have taken a vested interest in community events, 
infrastructure, and volunteerism. Shults Auto Group's philanthropic 
interests include youth sports, education, the National Comedy Center, 
Northwest Arena, and more. They believe in giving back to support their 
community.
  The customer experience is also very important, and the center of 
their mission, at Shults Auto Group. Millions of dollars have been 
invested using local contractors and supplies over the years to enhance 
facilities, grow the company. and give their customers the greatest 
experience.
  Given the above, I ask that this Legislative Body pause in its 
deliberations and join me to recognize the fiftieth anniversary of 
Shults Auto Group in Jamestown, New York. Congratulations on this 
tremendous milestone.
