    RECOGNIZING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GOOD HART GENERAL STORE

                                 ______

                       Monday, September 27, 2021

  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the 50th 
Anniversary of the Good Hart General Store of Emmet County, Michigan. 
Through its five decades of service and steadfast devotion to its 
community, the General Store has become a local landmark and an 
indispensable part of Michigan's First District.
  The General Store was first constructed in 1934 by local resident, 
Cliff Powers. Along with serving as a local Postmaster, Mr. Powers used 
his store as a grocer and gas station to bring needed supplies to his 
community. He would continue to operate his local business for almost 
40 years until selling it to Carolyn Sutherland in 1971. She has 
successfully preserved the history and significance of the General 
Store ever since. While also managing the store, Ms. Sutherland leads 
Graham Real Estate in Good Hart where she has continuously worked to 
better the lives of her community and the State of Michigan.
  Madam Speaker, it's my honor to recognize the Good Hart General Store 
for fifty years of success and service to Northern Michigan. 
Michiganders can take great pride in knowing the First District is home 
to such dedicated citizens that help preserve our most treasured 
businesses and landmarks. On behalf of my constituents, I wish them all 
the best in their future endeavors.
