Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Runyan family, who has been operating Planter's Hardware and Building, Inc., for over a century.

A member of the Runyan family has been operating Planter's Hardware & Building Inc. on the square in downtown Ashland, Alabama, since approximately 1916. The business got its name from its original clientele, and originally catered to the needs of local farmers. Planter's Hardware has altered its inventory to reflect changing times in favor of supplies for timber, poultry, and cabinet making. Planter's Hardware offers customers cost-effective solutions and personalized service six days a week.

On March 13, 2023, one of the pioneers of Planter's Hardware, Joseph Walton Runyan, Sr., passed away at the age of 89. Joseph was deeply loved by his community and will be deeply missed.

Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the Runyan family for their hard work in operating Planter's Hardware for over a century, as well as honoring the memory of Joseph Walton Runyan, Sr.
