success in the greater San Antonio area--Cox Manufacturing, | ||
Ebensberger-Fisher Funeral Home, Frontier Enterprises, J. R. | ||
Mooney Galleries of Fine Art, and New Braunfels Smokehouse, | ||
Incorporated--have received Texas Treasure Business Awards from | ||
the Texas Historical Commission; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Texas Treasure Business Award recognizes the | ||
contributions of well-established businesses to the vitality of | ||
the state economy; it is presented to Texas-based companies that | ||
have been in operation for 50 years or more and that continue to | ||
benefit the communities that they serve; and | ||
WHEREAS, Cox Manufacturing, a small machine parts company | ||
located in San Antonio, was established by William Cox, Sr., in | ||
1956; now run by the founder's son, Bill Cox, the business | ||
remains committed to both its customers and its employees; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ebensberger-Fisher Funeral Home, founded in 1882 | ||
by Carl Oscar Ebensberger, was managed by generations of the | ||
Ebensberger family before a co-ownership with Dustin and Jo Lynn | ||
Fisher was formed in 2008; with a history spanning 130 years, it | ||
is considered the oldest continuously operated business in | ||
Boerne; and | ||
WHEREAS, Frontier Enterprises owns Jim's Restaurants and | ||
the Magic Time Machine family of restaurants; established in 1947 | ||
when G. "Jim" Hasslocher began selling watermelon slices next to | ||
his bicycle rental service, the business soon evolved into a | ||
drive-in with burgers, milkshakes, and carhops; more than six | ||
decades later, the Hasslocher family operates 21 casual dining | ||
restaurants in San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas; and | ||
WHEREAS, J. R. Mooney Galleries of Fine Art was founded in | ||
San Antonio by Joe and Adelle Mooney in 1947; in addition to | ||
featuring work from both Texas and internationally renowned | ||
artists, it offers custom framing services and has counted the | ||
Vatican, United States presidents, and Texas governors among its | ||
clients; and | ||
WHEREAS, New Braunfels Smokehouse, Incorporated, was | ||
established in 1945 by Russell Kemble "Kim" Dunbar and Bill | ||
Wyatt; now owned by Dudley and Sue Snyder, the company offers a | ||
variety of meats by mail order, and its restaurant retains the | ||
look of its original "Tastin' Room" location from the 1950s; and | ||
WHEREAS, For decades, these businesses have stimulated the | ||
local economy while providing employment for countless Texans, | ||
and in so doing, they have played a vital role in the continued | ||
prosperity of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, | ||
Funeral Home, Frontier Enterprises, J. R. Mooney Galleries of | ||
Fine Art, and New Braunfels Smokehouse, Incorporated, on their | ||
receipt of Texas Treasure Business Awards and commend the many | ||
individuals who have contributed to their success and longevity; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, | ||
Campbell | ||
