 COMMENDING CENTURY-OLD BUSINESSES IN NORTH CAROLINA'S EIGHTH DISTRICT

  (Mr. HAYES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYES. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise 
before you today to congratulate 13 distinguished businesses in North 
Carolina's Eighth District that have served their communities and their 
country for more than 100 years. Not only do these businesses provide 
valuable jobs in our community, but they also illustrate North 
Carolina's rich tradition of entrepreneurship and the importance of 
family-owned businesses.
  I congratulate the following businesses for their many contributions: 
Norton Doors, Moose Drug Company, Eaton Corporation, Mt. Pleasant 
Hardware & Milling, Efird Marble and Granite, Dunn Manufacturing 
Company, Coffing Hoists, Woodmen of the World Insurance, Miller Lumber 
Company of Mt. Pleasant, Wall Safety Products, Pass & Seymour/Legrand, 
Tuscarora Yarns, Incorporated, and Bonsal American.
  Small businesses like these remain pillars in our community because 
of their commitment to producing quality products and advancing award-
winning customer service. I commend the owners and employees of these 
firms for their contribution to the American economy and their pledge 
to producing and selling quality and innovative products.
