The first beet packed BY the city was by Geo.
". Dole, Esq, in 1889. In October Of that
year he slaughtered and packed 150 head OF
cattle for Oliver Newberry, Of Detroit. The
cattle were purchased By Mr.. Dole, from
Chas. Reed of Hickory Creek, a. S. Is per 100
pourds-the hides and tallow being thrown
in for tbs slaughtering. 1he cattle were
driven to this city from the Wabash, and they
we're slaughtered by John and Mark Noble,
on the prairie near the lake, opposite where
the Catholic Bishops palace is now situated,
at the corner OF Michigan avenue and Madi.
son street. The packing Was done in Ar.
Dols's warehouse, a wooden bnilding situated
1t the corner Of Dearborn and South Water
streets. The barrels In which this beef was
packed, were brought from Detroit, and the
beef was shipped that fal1 to Detroit.
In December, 1882, Mr. Dole slaughtered
and packed Sss hogs. They we're purchased
from John Blackstone, at $500 per 100 lbs

Icy. These hoga were slaughtered in the
back yard Of Mr.. Dole's warehouse, aud
packed In the Etore. There being no barrels
in which to put the meat, 1t was packed in
bulk, and stored away until barrels were
made during the winter. Iais iras the first
lot Of hogs e.e7' packed In this city. We have
no means Of ascertaining what prices this
pork or beef brought, as they were sent to
the New York market from Detroit, but In
m old book belonging to Mr. Dole, we found
an entry Of sale Of q barrel Of mess pork at
$1,000, and barrel Of ''one h'g pork" at
$l4 90.
In the fall Of 1888 Mr. Dole packed both
beef and pork ut Mr.. Clybou1ne's packing
house on the North Branch. The number Of
cattle packed MAS $50 head, and the number
of hogs 1000. Tho cattle cost $3.50 per 100
