I rise to honor McCartney's of Altoona as they commemorate two milestones of success--100 years of family ownership in 2026 and 140 years of operation in 2027. McCartney's was founded in 1887 by Thomas McCartney. In 1926, the business was purchased by John Tracey. Today, McCartney's is owned by Randy Green, who is John Tracey's great-grandson. As workplaces adapted to changing needs over the years, the product lines at McCartney's have also expanded. Defined by a commitment to personal service, McCartney's has cultivated a loyal customer base throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Randy Green and his entire team at McCartney's on these milestones. I express my personal gratitude for his enduring contributions to economic development as a valued family-owned business.
