                    TRIBUTE TO PUEBLO MOTIVE SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 21, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to rise and pay tribute to a 
remarkable business in my district. Pueblo Motive Service has been 
serving the Pueblo community since 1946, and it is my honor to rise and 
pay tribute to their contributions to the people of Pueblo before this 
body of Congress and our nation.
   The employees of Pueblo Motive Service have always approached their 
work with the customer in mind. The current owner, Jim Ward, often 
spends a large portion of his day on the phone discussing mechanical 
problems with his many customers. The store always maintains a family 
atmosphere. Longtime customers can often be found discussing old times 
with the store's owner and staff. There is even an honor system in 
which the store trusts its customers to place their payment in a 
mailbox when they are in a hurry.
   In addition to its magnificent customer service, Pueblo Motive 
Service is also active in the community. Past owner Ralph Simmons made 
a significant donation to the University of Southern Colorado in order 
to help students enhance their education. To this day, Pueblo Motive 
Service continues to support the university's automotive parts and 
service program, which educates students in the automotive industry.
   Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to rise before this body of Congress and 
our nation to call attention to the contributions of Pueblo Motive 
Service. Over the years, Pueblo Motive Service has been dedicated to 
keeping the citizens of Pueblo equipped with safe and reliable 
transportation. The business continues to serve the people of Pueblo 
with dedicated and friendly customer service and I would like to join 
the customers of Pueblo Motive Service in thanking them for their hard 
work.
