COMMEMORATING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF VERMEER MIDWEST
______
HON. DARIN LaHOOD
of illinois
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, July 21, 2021
Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize Junior Kool of Eureka, Illinois, and Vermeer Midwest for celebrating the 50th anniversary as an outstanding company in the central Illinois area.
Vermeer Midwest first opened its doors in 1971. Founder Junior Kool, raised with hardworking American values, successfully expanded his business across four states with ten distinct locations. Providing excellent service and ample charitable donations of money, time, and people, Junior's legacy will have a lasting impact on the area.
Vermeer Midwest is known throughout Central Illinois not only for their quality underground and environmental equipment but also for the lasting relationships they develop with their customers. Junior and his wife Beverly are fondly recognized for their pure commitment to customer service and seeing their consumers through to success. Never are they hesitant to complete the job or get their boots dirty, and as their motto says, ``It's simply how business is done.''
The Greater Peoria area has benefited from Vermeer Midwest's goodwill and generosity since they first opened. I extend my sincere congratulations to Vermeer Midwest, Junior Kool, and all of the hard-
working staff for a successful fifty years. I wish their family and company a successful future.
