| H.R. No. 215 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Oil City Iron Works was named the Small Employer of | ||
| the Year by Workforce Solutions for North Central Texas at the | ||
| organization's 26th Annual Awards of Excellence on January 25, | ||
| 2023; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Every year, Workforce Solutions for North Central | ||
| Texas recognizes partners that have gone above and beyond to serve | ||
| customers in the organization's 14-county service area; the Small | ||
| Employer of the Year award highlights a private-sector employer | ||
| with fewer than 500 employees that has taken initiatives benefiting | ||
| current and future workers and individuals with challenges that | ||
| make entering the workforce difficult; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Oil City Iron Works traces its origins back to 1866, | ||
| when the original machine shop and foundry was established in | ||
| Corsicana; the company initially produced parts for cotton gins, | ||
| brick presses, and castings for the building industry, but it has | ||
| since diversified its line of products to include valves, pumps, | ||
| gas turbine and compression parts, and mining and oilfield | ||
| equipment; the business took on its current name in 1898 in | ||
| recognition of the oil boom that was happening in Corsicana at the | ||
| time; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through its exceptional efforts, Oil City Iron Works | ||
| has made important contributions to the vitality and prosperity of | ||
| North Central Texas, and it is indeed deserving of this most recent | ||
| honor; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Oil City Iron Works on being named | ||
| the Small Employer of the Year by Workforce Solutions for North | ||
| Central Texas and extend to all those associated with the company | ||
| sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Oil City Iron Works as an expression of high regard by | ||
| the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
| Harris of Anderson | ||
