tribute to Baker Florist, for throughout the past century, this fine 6
business has attained a remarkable record of service to the Tuscarawas 7
County area. Established by Roy and Hazel Baker in downtown Dover in 8

just two years later, and since that time, and it is known for 10
providing high quality flowers at a value to its customers; and 11
WHEREAS, The success of Baker Florist is a justifiable source of 12
pride and an outstanding reflection not only on the business itself 13
but also on the astute management of its fourth-generation owner, 14
Dalene Baker, and on its hard-working employees. This respected 15
enterprise has earned the gratitude and appreciation of many satisfied 16
customers due to the vision and initiative of its staff, and it is 17
truly deserving of high praise; and 18
WHEREAS, Over the years, Baker Florist has enhanced the quality of 19
life within the surrounding area. We are certain that as this worthy 20
establishment maintains its unwavering dedication to service and 21
achievement, it will continue to prosper and will uphold the tradition 22
of excellence that has long been its hallmark; therefore be it 23
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 135th General 24
Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend Baker Florist 25
on its One Hundredth Anniversary and extend best wishes for the 26
