WHEREAS, The year 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the |
|
|
founding of Little's Boot Company in San Antonio; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This notable institution was established by Lucien |
|
|
Little as a shoe retail and repair shop in 1915; he later taught his |
|
|
skills to his son, Ben, who went on to specialize in the craft of |
|
|
bootmaking and earn acclaim by designing footwear for ranchers and |
|
|
cowboys in San Antonio in the 1940s; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since Ben Little's passing in 1966, his sons, John |
|
|
and Dave, have furthered the family tradition and the company's |
|
|
legacy of custom handmade boots; today, the brothers are preparing |
|
|
to pass the torch to a fourth generation of owners, Dave's children, |
|
|
Sharon and Duane; and |
|
|
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; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the 100th anniversary of Little's |
|
|
Boot Company and extend to all those involved in the business |
|
|
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the family as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
