Mr. Speaker. I rise today to pay tribute to Lillian Katz. founder and chief executive officer of Lillian Vernon Corp.. whose company will be celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. Lillian Katz emigrated from Europe at the age of 10. In 1951. Mrs. Katz decided to supplement her husbands income by starting her own business at home. Despite being a female entrepreneur and being pregnant with her oldest son. she began the process of turning a $2.000 investment into a multimilliondollar company. Soon after Lillian Vernons founding. Mrs. Katz decided to utilize her creativity and began designing her own products for mail order sales. and her small company began to grow rapdily.
