Bill > J00817

This resolution commemorates the 150th anniversary of I.D. Booth, Inc., a family-owned hardware and building supply business located in Elmira, New York, recognizing its long-standing contribution to the local economy and community. Founded in 1875 by Irving D. Booth, the company has been led by five generations of the Booth family, starting as a "Heavy Hardware" business supplying essential materials like nails, horseshoes, and steel, and evolving over time to become a significant regional supplier of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC products. The resolution highlights the company's growth from a local hardware jobber to a business serving Central and Western New York and the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania, while emphasizing the family's commitment to dedication, perseverance, and community spirit. The legislative body formally honors I.D. Booth, Inc. by pausing its deliberations to commend the company on its 150th anniversary, extending best wishes for continued success, and ordering that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to the company.
