BY: Senator AKSHAR

        COMMEMORATING  the  100th  Anniversary of Chenango
        Sales Inc. on December 18, 2019

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize  the
important  milestones  in  those businesses within the State of New York
which have contributed to  the  economic  health  and  vitality  of  the
communities they serve; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commemorate  the  100th Anniversary of Chenango Sales Inc. on Wednesday,
December 18, 2019; and

  WHEREAS, For the past 100 years, Chenango Sales of Greene, New  York
has  proudly  offered  quality  products  and outstanding service to its
customers, many of whom have passed the tradition of owning a Ford  from
the  dealership  down  through their families; today's sales are made to
many grand and great-grandchildren of the original patrons; and

  WHEREAS, On December 18, 1919, mechanic J. W.  Doolittle,  opened  a
Ford  sales and service station on South Chenango Street, under the name
of Chenango Sales Co.; he promised to provide the best service  possible
by operating an up-to-date service station, and maintaining a stock room
carrying a complete line of Ford Parts; and

  WHEREAS, Chenango Sales' legacy for quality and customer service was
carried  on  through its ownership by Russell and Donald Rheubotton from
1960-1967, Jim Barton and Gordon Hinman from 1967-2000, and to this day,
by its current owners Byron E. Miller and James M. Bleyle; and

  WHEREAS, Chenango Sales has sold both  Ford  and  Mercury  products,
until  2010, when Mercury stopped production of its cars; throughout the
last century, the dealership has sold everything from the 1919  Model  T
to the 2019 Mustang Bullitt and the GT Supercar; and

  WHEREAS,  Chenango Sales is currently a top seller of Ford trucks in
New York State, and with an inventory topping $2,000,000 in new and used
cars, it is the most successful Ford dealership in Chenango County; and

  WHEREAS, Throughout the years, Chenango Sales has become  a  trusted
source  for  multiple generations of south central New York families who
have come to appreciate this remarkable  company's  caring  concern  and
attention to detail; and

  WHEREAS, Under the luminous leadership of owners Byron E. Miller and
James  M.  Bleyle,  remains committed to offering the finest service and
products to the Greene area and beyond for many years to come; and

  WHEREAS, The success of Chenango Sales over the years is  in  direct
correlation   to   the  efforts  of  its  management  and  staff,  whose
involvement is, and always has  been,  characterized  by  an  impressive
commitment,  an  unbridled enthusiasm, and an uncompromising standard of

excellence in all endeavors on behalf of the company and  the  community
it serves; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  with  great  pleasure  that  this Legislative Body
acknowledges this exceptional business  and  its  contributions  to  the
local and State economies, fully confident it will continue to enjoy the
sparkling successes it has experienced thus far; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 100th Anniversary of Chenango  Sales  Inc.;  and  be  it
further

  RESOLVED,  That  copies  of  this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Byron E. Miller and James  M.  Bleyle,  Owners,  Chenango
Sales Inc.
