Mr. Speaker. 25 years ago an Armenian immigrant named Sarkes Tarzian began a small factory in Bloomington. Ind.. with only 10 employes. doing consulting engineering and making air trimmer condensers. The ensuing 25 years have been exciting and productive ones for Sarkes Tarzian and his wife. Mary. who is of Armenian descent but was born in this country. And. also. for the sixcounty community in southcentral Indiana. comprising the counties of Monroe. Brown. Owen. Morgan. Greene. and Lawrence. that has furnished coworkers. customers. suppliers. and just plain friends and neighbors. Today the Tarzian enterprise has grown to employ 2.000 people. including a semiconductor division. a tuner division making more TV tuners than any other company in the Nation. a broadcast division with TV stations in Fort Wayne and Bloomington and Indianapolis.
