Office Of The Illinois Governor

March 21, 2011

Congratulations!

As Governer of the State of Illinois, I am pleased to congratulate everyone in the Abt Family on the celebration of your company's 75th anniversary.

The observance of this milestone presents a wonderful oppurtunity to reflect on both the ups and downs you have experienced over the years. The continual growth your business has experienced over the years. The continual growth your business has experienced since the first opening in 1936, as reflected both in your number of customers and employees, is certainly a testament to the quality of the service you provide.

To celebrate an anniversary such as this is a significant milesotne for any organization. I urge you to use this chance to reflect on all that you have accomplished over the past decade and to make plans for the future of your business that will build on your past success. I have no doubt that Abt will continue to provide the same level of excellence to your customers that they have come to expect from you for many more years to come.

Congratulations again. On behalf of the people of Illinois, I offer my best wishes for an enjoyable and memorable celebration, and for continued success.

Sincerely,

Pat Quinn
Governor
