the very latest and the best"
The above were the words Of Mr.. Fred
Dold last evening. He was walking the
floor of the ONCE OF the Dold packing
house at the time and his face wore a
self-satisfed smile as he talked
Superintendent Charles Darrigrand and
". J. McKone. Kansas City. traffic man
ager OF the Jacob Dold Packing company,
were at the time seated at a table in the
office figuring on material with contract
ors and the thing seemed TO be about I'm
ished in so far as the contracts we're
concerned. This was the cause for Fred
Dolds triumphant remarks.
Manager Fred bold has reason for feel
ing good over the outcome. He was ter
ribly broken up after the recent big fire.
His heart was set on the Dold house in
this city and on Wichita He would not
Tor one minute consent that the house
would not be rebuilt. He Immediately set
about urging his company TO not only re-
build. but TO build larger than before.
Wichita came 10 his rescue and the Jacob
Dold company voted 70 let the young
Wichita manager 90 ahead and rebuild.
The voting of the bonds and the closing
OF the trade with the city council all took
tine, but everything has finally been set
tied to the satisfaction of all concerned
and now the greater Dold packing house
viii commence to rise from the ruins of
the old. Wichita is in the morning Of a
great day of development ard the people
of this city have as much occasion for
feeling Jubilant as has Mr.. Dold. The
manager of the Dcld plant has been here
long enough TO become imbued with the
spirit that has made Wichita He be
lieves in its future and he wants TO be
identified with it. The bold house was a
good one when built. but it had become
too small for the Wichita OF today. The
new house viii have three times the ca
pacity OF tho old one and in this rebuild
ing the Dolds have shown their faith
in the future Of the new packing center
of the southwest.
the stockyards and the Cudahy people do
not conceal their satisfaction on account
of the certainty that the Dold house VIII
be rebuilt Mr.. McKone. traffic manager
Of the Dold company, said that the house,
when completed, would DC one Of TIE most
complete and up-to-date houses in the
west. He however. added that his bust
ness was more with the railroads than
with the packing houses. He said Dold
mad 10SS refrigerator cars and thirty five
tank cars and it was his business TO
know where every one Of them were every
day in the year. He said the railroads
reported TO him and he sent q great many
cards to railroad functions and the agents
at these functions reported to him every
time one Of their cars passed the junction
He saws each Of these cars saved to the
company from seventy-fve cents to 81
every day they were In use. he said when
the new Dold plant was completed in flis
city a great many Of these cars would
be sent here to transport the products
of the house to market. He seemed TO be
of the opinion that Dold were going 70
center their greatest packing interests in
this city.
All of the manufacturers OF packing
house machinery in this country have
