R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Holland Jewelry of San Angelo is receiving a Texas
  Treasure Business Award from the Texas Historical Commission on
  January 23, 2013; and
         WHEREAS, The Texas Treasure Business Award recognizes
  businesses that have provided employment opportunities and
  supported the state's economy for at least 50 years; and
         WHEREAS, Holland's was founded by Chase Holland in 1918 and
  has been in continuous operation ever since; near the end of the
  Great Depression, Mr. Holland introduced handmade Western jewelry
  and belt buckles, including a silver spur tie clip designed to pay
  tribute to those who had "won their spurs"; one such clip was
  presented to President Franklin Roosevelt by a local newspaper
  publisher; and
         WHEREAS, After World War II, Mr. Holland's son, Chase
  Holland, Jr., joined him in operating the business; their
  partnership lasted nearly a quarter-century, before Chase Holland,
  Sr., passed away in 1960; Chase Holland, Jr., worked alongside his
  wife, Virginia, until his untimely death in 1968, after which she
  led the company with the assistance of George McCormack, who had
  served the operation as store manager; and
         WHEREAS, The historic business is now run by Bill Holland and
  Chase Holland III, sons of the late Chase and Virginia Holland, and
  Brant Horner; along with offering an array of fine jewelry,
  Holland's continues to produce a selection of Western pieces
  reflecting the frontier roots of its home in San Angelo; and
         WHEREAS, Family owned and operated for nearly a century,
  Holland Jewelry has earned a prominent place among the state's
  historic businesses, staying true to its original vision while
  evolving with the times, and it is indeed deserving of this
  prestigious accolade; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby honor Holland Jewelry on its receipt of a Texas
  Treasure Business Award and congratulate the Holland family and all
  those associated with the company for their contributions to its
  continued success; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Holland Jewelry as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
