H.R. No. 898
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Since 1968, Advertising Associates has provided
invaluable marketing services to businesses across Southeast
Texas, and this year, as the company celebrates its 35th
anniversary, its future has never looked more promising; and
WHEREAS, Advertising Associates was founded by Don Crain, a
Beaumont-area restaurateur, to promote his own business as well as
those owned by friends and neighbors; providing expert advice to
local business owners at affordable prices, the advertising agency
expanded its services throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and Mr. Crain
earned a well-deserved reputation for integrity and hard work;
during the 1990s, the firm began to attract regional and national
clients, at one time handling accounts in as many as 12 states; and
WHEREAS, Under the ownership of J. C. Milich, the company has
flourished and continues to provide high-quality marketing
services to a wide range of companies, such as restaurants and car
dealerships; Advertising Associates also includes educational
enrichment programs and boat dealerships in its ever-expanding
clientele; and
WHEREAS, The success of this small Beaumont-based
advertising agency is most notable, for it has weathered the
changing economic conditions of our state over the course of the
past 35 years and has helped many other small businesses in our
state to do the same; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Advertising Associates of Beaumont for
helping to make the Lone Star State a better place in which to do
business and congratulate the company on the occasion of its 35th
anniversary; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for prominent display at the offices of Advertising
Associates as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of
Representatives.
