This resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of Rome Specialty Company, Inc. (ROSCO), a business that has been manufacturing fishing tackle in Rome, New York, since 1926 and is recognized as the oldest and largest producer of such items in the United States. The resolution highlights ROSCO's core products, which include swivels, snaps, sleeves, and rings made from brass or stainless steel, used in sport and commercial fishing, but also finding unique applications in areas like renaissance reenactment for chainmail, kites, surfboard leashes, dog collars, and custom jewelry. It acknowledges the company's resilience through various economic and technological shifts, its commitment to American manufacturing, and its contributions to the local and state economy by supporting jobs and improving efficiency. The resolution also recognizes the leadership of President Jack Butts, a fourth-generation leader, and the dedication of its staff, celebrating ROSCO's centennial year and its ongoing success.
