  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Runyan family,

[[Page E188]]

who has been operating Planter's Hardware & Building Inc. for over a 
century.
  A member of the Runyan family has been operating Planter's Hardware & 
Building Inc, on the square in downtown Ashland, Alabama since 
approximately 1916. The business got its name from its original 
clientele, and originally catered to the needs of local farmers. 
Planter's Hardware has altered its inventory to reflect changing times 
in favor of supplies for timber, poultry. and cabinet making. Planter's 
Hardware offers customers cost-effective solutions and personalized 
service 6 days a week.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the hard work of the 
Runyan family for their work in operating Planter's Hardware for over a 
century.
