H.R. No. 514 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated businesses play a vital | ||
role in the prosperity of the Lone Star State, and those enterprises | ||
that build a record of dependability and longevity enjoy a special | ||
degree of esteem in their communities; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established in 1933, Vent-A-Hood Limited is a | ||
third-generation family-owned business that began after Carr | ||
P. Collins, Sr., financed the entrepreneurial idea to build indoor | ||
cooking ventilation systems; a nephew of Collins, Miles Woodall, | ||
Jr., was hired in 1938 to manage the company, and today his son, | ||
Miles Woodall III, continues this family tradition as CEO; and | ||
WHEREAS, Vent-A-Hood was one of the first companies to | ||
manufacture home cooking ventilation and range hoods; although the | ||
business has developed and improved its product since its early | ||
days when hoods were crafted one at a time based on customer orders, | ||
it has maintained the original concept of its unique "Magic Lung" | ||
blower system; in 1961, the company relocated from Dallas to | ||
Richardson and has provided highly skilled employment | ||
opportunities for area residents for more than half a century; and | ||
WHEREAS, For the past eight decades, Vent-A-Hood has gained | ||
an excellent reputation throughout the ventilation industry, and it | ||
is indeed a pleasure to recognize this successful small Texas | ||
business at this point in its rich history; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Vent-A-Hood Limited on the | ||
occasion of its 80th anniversary and extend to its owners and | ||
employees sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the business as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
