NY J03340

Commemorates the 100th Anniversary of Hemstrought's Bakeries located at 900 Oswego Street in Utica, New York, known as the "Home of the Original Halfmoon Cookie"

Founded 100 years ago by Harry Hemstrought (H.B.), who created the original halfmoon cookie recipe that has remained unchanged and produces approximately two million cookies annually

Business was transferred to son Robert Hemstrought and son-in-law Richard Morgan in the late 1940s after World War II, with H.B. continuing to work there until his death in 1970

Current owner Dan Dowe purchased the bakery after a period of decline in the 1980s and has restored its success by reintroducing classic products and planning expansions including ice cream cookie sandwiches and European bread and artisan cheese markets

Directs transmission of the resolution to Dan Dowe, Owner of Hemstrought's Bakeries
