Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of the oldest companies that call northeast Florida home. Swisher, a family-owned business, is celebrating 100 years this month of operating in Jacksonville, Florida. Although the company was founded in Ohio in 1861, they relocated to Jacksonville in 1924. Over the past century, Swisher's commitment to innovation, product quality, and customer satisfaction has made it a leader in the industry. Swisher Sweets Cigars, which debuted in 1958, remains the number one selling cigar by volume in the world. Swisher's philanthropic legacy continues through its support of our Nation's heroes, their families, and our local community. I congratulate Swisher for 100 years in Jacksonville and 162 years in business. We thank you for your contributions to the historic Springfield neighborhood and the entire Jacksonville region. ____________________
