I feel very happy to learn that S.M.Ilyas & Sons has successfully completed one hundred years of its business operations. I avail of this opportunity to congratulate the management and workers of this organization on earning this distinction which is a rare and one of the few examples in the business world in this region.

It gives me great pleasure to learn of your amazing accomplishment in the marketing of tobacco and other consumer products. A very few business houses in Pakistan can claim a distinction of 100 years of operations in spite of many political and economic ups and down in the history of subcontinent. It is with this great satisfaction that I extend my heartfelt congratulations to your house on this auspicious occasion. Your stability throughout the years is a great source of satisfaction also to the Government of Pakistan who has always encouraged such private sector stability and enterprise.
It gives me great personal pleasure when I became aware that it was a Lahore based business concern that carries the distinction of being the first Pakistani Business House to attain a 100 years of operations in this community.

I have no hesitation, therefore, in extending not only my wholehearted congratulation but also those of the Government of the Punjab.
