                      RECOGNIZING PETIT JEAN MEATS

  (Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the remarkable 
achievement of Petit Jean Meats, marking 100 years of business in 
central Arkansas.
  Petit Jean Meats was established in 1922 by the late Felix Schlosser, 
searching for a better opportunity after escaping an inflation-ravaged 
Germany.
  He found that opportunity in Morrilton, Arkansas, and opened a small 
retail market, which has now expanded into a 48,000-square foot 
processing plant.
  The story of Petit Jean Meats is truly inspirational, and today, it 
is still owned by that same family.
  Current owner David Ruff says: ``We still do things the old-fashioned 
way, which gives our meats that old-fashioned flavor.''
  I commend Petit Jean Meats for this outstanding achievement, and I 
wish them continued success.
