Bill > HR506

This resolution honors Cohen's of Alma, a long-standing family-owned business in Georgia, on its 100th anniversary by recognizing its significant community contributions and remarkable history. The resolution traces the store's origins to Nathan Cohen, a 13-year-old immigrant from the Russia-Poland border who started as a traveling peddler in 1913 and eventually purchased a general store in Alma in 1924, which became Cohen's of Alma. The business was subsequently managed by his son Jerald, who expanded the store in 1967, and later by subsequent family members, maintaining its status as one of the oldest single-family-owned businesses in Georgia. The resolution highlights the Cohen family's commitment to the Alma-Bacon County community, noting their consistent support of local events and their provision of high-quality products across generations. Ultimately, the resolution formally commends the Cohen family for their century of dedication, extends best wishes for continued success, and directs the House Clerk to provide an official copy of the resolution to Cohen's of Alma as a formal recognition of their milestone achievement.
