R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Boaz on the Square in Graham celebrated the 100th
  anniversary of its opening in November 2021; and
         WHEREAS, Boaz on the Square traces its origins back to 1921,
  when P. A. Boaz, a Lebanese immigrant and entrepreneur, founded the
  Boaz Department Store; over the years, the business grew to include
  seven stores across Texas; and
         WHEREAS, Three of the original stores remained active after
  the Great Depression, and Mr. Boaz's grandson, Davey Donnell,
  eventually took over the business; today, Boaz on the Square sells
  apparel, footwear, and accessories both in store and online; and
         WHEREAS, Local businesses of long standing play a vital role
  in the culture and economy of the Lone Star State, and it is indeed a
  pleasure to honor Boaz on the Square for the contributions it has
  made to the Graham community over the past century; now, therefore,
  be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature
  hereby commemorate the 100th anniversary of Boaz on the Square and
  extend to all those associated with the enterprise sincere best
  wishes for continued success; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Boaz on the Square as an expression of high regard by
  the Texas Senate.
