THE GOVERNOR June 29, 1956
Mr. Willis* Young
Publisher
Record and Express
Lititz, Pennsylvania
Dear Mr. Young:
It is a great pleasure for me, a s Qovernor of
Pennsylvania, to extend the congratulations of myself and
of the Commonwealth to the people of Lititz on the 200th
Anniversary of the founding of their fine community.
This is indeed a memorable occasion in the history
of Lititz. The completion of two hundred years of growth and
development is an achievement of which her citizens can well
be proud. It is a tribute to the Industry and spirit of the
people of Lititz that their community has prospered from its
simple beginning to its present healthy maturity. I am con­fident
that these same qualities will bring to Lititz an even
more promising future.
I would also like to offer my felicitations to the
publisher and staff of the Lititz Record and Express, now
observing its 80th year of service to the community. This is
Indeed a fine record, and I am certain that the Record and
Express has made many valuable contributions to the welfare
and progress of Lititz and its people.
Please accept my si.
doubly Important occasion ant
success and prosperity in t!
•est congratulations on this
best wishes for conti
coming years.
Sincerely yours.
