     CELEBRATING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF HOLLAND TRANSFER COMPANY

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to one of the 
finest and oldest logistics companies in the State of North Carolina. 
Holland Transfer Company in Statesville, North Carolina embodies the 
ethics of good business that separates great companies from the rest.
  This week, Holland Transfer celebrates its 100th anniversary and its 
longstanding commitment to running a customer service-centered 
business. This company has transported goods and materials to North 
Carolina businesses since 1907 and is the oldest carrier in the State.
  In the 100 years since its founding, Holland has built a strong 
reputation as a company that its customers can depend on to provide 
high-quality service without having to worry about getting 
shortchanged. Not many companies reach such a 100-year benchmark.

In fact, it is doubtful that when Holland Transfer Company began with a 
team of horses and a single wagon that its founder, S.R. Holland, 
envisioned a company that today is a major part of the Statesville 
community.
  Today, Holland Transfer embodies Christian values as part of its 
company character. These values are an integral part of what has made 
Holland Transfer successful for 100 years. I wish this fine company and 
all its employees all the best and many more years of doing business 
the right way. It is businesses like Holland Transfer that make this 
country great.
