The resolution congratulates Wassick Tire Service of Bennington on its 80th anniversary, recognizing its long-standing contribution to the community and the tire industry. Founded in 1946 by Steve Wassick Sr., who developed an interest in the tire business during his military service in World War II, the company has provided tire sales and support services for various motor vehicles. The business has remained a family-run operation, with leadership transitioning to Steve Wassick Sr.'s sons, Steve Jr. and Donnie, and now includes Donnie's son, DJ, who assists during the summer months.
Wassick Tire Service has been honored for its commitment to service, receiving accolades such as a commemorative plaque from the Vermont Veterans Home for its annual Christmas display and recognition in the Bennington Banners Readers Choice Awards. The resolution highlights the company's reputation as a well-run family business, encapsulated in its advertising mottos, and concludes with a directive for the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Wassick Tire Service.
