There is growing sentiment in this
city expressed frequently OF late among
all classes Of business men. relative to
this city adopting a food inspection or
dInance, such as is in effect in many Cit
les, and a few in Kansas. Besides the
revenue resulting therefrom, the better
and purer food products as well as the
great commercial benefit to the city from
protecting home institutions Most of the
leading staples sent out from the Dold
plant bear autographed placard bear
ing the statement: Made in Wichita"
Thus the town is advertised throughout
the land. Again, one inviolable rule
about the works is always to purchase
supplies which can be procured here.
right from WIGHT farms 1t IS equally
cogent that questionable products from
out of the city should Re required to pay
a license tax as in Topeka and elsewhere.
Al meats and all live animals are rigidly
inspected here and residents here can not
get tainted meats from the Dold estab-
lishment. The large pay roll, and little
army of men employed are important
and should be protected against such
outside competition which is unfair, dis
honest sometimes, and apt TO be injuri-
Gus as to health. This matter of late has
been agitated by others, prominent BUSH
ness men OF the city, and viii sooner or
later become a law
