WHEREAS, Weaver Bologna of Lebanon is celebrating its 125th

anniversary; and

WHEREAS, In 1885, Daniel Weaver began making Weaver's Lebanon

Bologna, and the small plant in which it is made was originally

recipes; and

WHEREAS, Both brands are divisions of Godshall's Quality

Meats of Telford, Montgomery County; and

WHEREAS, Weaver Bologna originally employed 15 people in 1893

and currently has about 70 full-time employees; and

WHEREAS, Weaver Bologna's business has increased at least 20%

over the last year; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives congratulate and

honor Weaver Bologna of Lebanon, on the meaningful and momentous

occasion of its 125th anniversary, and express its hope that the

success and growth of Weaver Bologna will continue throughout

the coming years; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to

Weaver Bologna, A Division of Godshall's Quality Meats, 1415

Weavertown Road, Lebanon, PA 17046.
