Manager Fred ". bold some time since
reported to his father and brothers that
the packing plant here was too small for
his trade and the firm for some time
have been considering the matter. They
finally agreed that the proper thing to do
was to enlarge the Wichita plant.
The Dolds are keeping abreast of the
times in Wichita and there does not seem
to be any present indications that the
city will build away from the Dolds
The new building will cost $4,000, but
that is not ali the Dold Packing company
expect to do In the way Of building.
Manager Fred ". Dold said last night
that he would tell what else they intend

DO it.

The Dolds are men Of action rather
than of words. and they never like to
talk about what they intend to do until
they are ready to do It. Manager Fred
Dold has several times told the reporter
for the Eagle that they expected to do
some building here, but that he desired
that nothing be published about II until
they were ready to go to work. Albert
Dold is a bright young business man and
