WHEREAS, The year 2005 marks the 65th anniversary of
Horaney's Feed Store, and this significant milestone provides a
fitting opportunity to recognize this Longview institution; and
WHEREAS, Founded in 1940 by Syrian immigrant Harry Horaney,
the business originally occupied a simple wooden structure at 207
Court Street and quickly gained a loyal customer base; farmers and
ranchers depended on Horaney's not only for its products but also
for its warm and friendly atmosphere, which earned it the status of
one of Longview's most important social centers; and
WHEREAS, Throughout the years, Horaney's inventory has
become as diverse as its ever-growing clientele, which today
includes gardeners, homeowners, and even tourists who have read
about the store in the Best of East Texas; the business has moved
across the street, and it is now operated by Mr. Horaney's son and
daughter-in-law, Albert and Betty Horaney, but the same high
standards of service and commitment to its customers continue; and
WHEREAS, For 6–1/2 decades, the Horaney family and their
enterprise have contributed immeasurably to the quality of life of
their East Texas community, and it is indeed a pleasure to recognize
them at this time; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate the Horaney
family on the 65th anniversary of Horaney's Feed Store and extend to
them sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Horaneys as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
