  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
76th anniversary of City Market, the supplier to Sea Island Corporation 
and many other restaurants in South Georgia.
  City Market was founded in 1848 in Brunswick by Harold Sigmund and 
E.W. Stanford, Sr. Upon E.W. Stanford, Sr.'s death that same year, his 
18-year-old son and E.W. ``Captain Red'' Stanford, Jr. took over the 
business. The two eventually bought out Mr. Sigmond and continued 
building a great reputation for the business.
  City Market then moved to its current location on Gloucester Street 
in 1969. After his passing, Captain Red left the legacy of City Market 
to his grandson, Frank ``Little Red'' Owens, Jr., as well as his 
brother and sons, Walker and Wyatt Owens. Left to run the packing house 
was his son-in-law, Bruce Collins, Sr.
  Through the dedication of the family and its loyal customers, City 
Market has continued to grow and prosper. Congratulations to City 
Market, a true family business, on 76 years of success and hard work.
