The new building is made necessary or
account of the rapid order trade of the
Cudahy company. The building in which
the Offices are locate viii be changed
to suit and be used for the handling OF
the immense business of the firm, thai
keeps growing right along.
Superintendent Brown said last night
that they had already spent the s40,O0
donated to Mr.. Cudahy by the city and
people, and 500 besides. and they would
have to keep right along building IN or
der to take care of the trade that was
coming to them.
Mr.. Brown says they viii build a new
and larger smoke house. They are bound
to do this or confess their inability 10
take care of their immense order trade.

with a track system which vii enable
them to handle large amounts OF meat,
and it win be provided with an electric
motor and a costly electric stamping ma
chine for branding hams and other prod
ucts. The brands VIII be burned into the

When asked what would be the size Of
the new Office building Superintendent
Brown said he could not give the exact
size, but it would De two stories above
the basement and that Mr.. Cudahy was
having the plans and Specifications drawn
and was his intention to make it a mod
ern Office in every respect
adding to their Office force until they
present Office building and they are as
thick as bees in hive. 1t is the intention
of the company to have one Of the incest
Office buildings in the city.
John Cudahy said when he first came to
Wichita that he had confidence in the city
and he believed that there would be es-
tablished here a great packing center.
The burning Of the DoId house Of course
brought more trade to Cudahy, and not
withstanding the fact lat he came here
with high hopes fer the future, the trade
of his house has so far exceeded his ex-
pectations that the great Cudahy pack
ing house is simply over-run with bust
ness.
Superintendent William Brown said last
night that they had kept right along
building ever since they came to Wichita
and that ley would finish their ice plant
and other buildings this fall and early
next spring they would inaugurate an
other building boom.
This building Of more houses is not
merely for the purpose of haying A big
packing house. but it is an effort of the
Cudahy Packink company to meet the
demand for its products of the great
Wichita plant.
The plans VIII all be drawn for the new
Office building and the new smoke house
this winter and the material will be con-
tracted for, and when the first notes of
he bluehirds are heard next spring the
work will be commenced and rushed to
The friends of Miss Laura Pierce will
be glad to learn of her great improve
ment in health. Miss Pierce went TO
Pueblo a few weeks since and was there
stricken with malarial fever. She is now
well on the road to recovery.
