INTRODUCING HOUSE RESOLUTION HONORING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
CREATION OF WONDER BREAD IN INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA
______
HON. ANDRE CARSON
of indiana
in the house of representatives
Thursday, May 20, 2021
Mr. CARSON. Madam Speaker, I rise to introduce a bill to honor the 100th anniversary of the creation of Wonder Bread at Taggert Baking Company in Indianapolis, Indiana. This bicameral and bipartisan resolution recognizes that this storied company, with deep Indiana roots and its iconic Wonder Bread product, made lasting impacts on American life and showcase the best of Hoosier values.
With hard work and a pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps story, the Taggart Brothers' creation of Wonder Bread in Indianapolis jumpstarted an innovation in commercial baking that touched American lives from the Midwest heartlands to our nation's coasts. Americans from all walks of life know Wonder Bread, and just as many enjoyed childhood memories with this iconic product and lunchbox favorite.
Indianapolis has long been a haven for hard-working entrepreneurs with big ideas--from Madam CJ Walker to the current generation of visionaries. That Wonder Bread can tout Hoosier roots, is yet another example of our state's industrial and entrepreneurial spirit. I am honored to join many of my House colleagues who represent Indiana and Senator Braun, on the Senate side, in celebrating this legacy through our resolution commemorating and honoring the 100th Anniversary of the creation of Wonder Bread.
I urge all my colleagues to join me in supporting this resolution.
