Superintendent Charles Darrigrand re-
turned from the east yesterday. where
he had been to buy the new machinery
for the two plants. lie was seen at his
commodiOus home on North Lawrence
avenue by a reporter for the Eagle last
night. and il would be putting IL mildly to
say that he was pleased. He said he had
inspected the new packing house OF
Schwartzchild & Sulzberger of Chicago.
which is considered the most complete
packing house in this country, and ne
declared that the Dold plants in this city
would not be behind It.
That means a good deal when Mr.. Oar
rigrand says it, because there is not a
man in America who knows more about
packing houses than he. He knew what
kind Of machinery he had bought be-
cause, before making the purchases,
Fred Dold sent hi INTO all the big pack
ing houses in the west to find out what
kind of machinery they had.
Mr. Darrigrand said he had purchased
the entire tank outfit for the new Dold
house. There were twenty-siX immense
steel tanks that Will stand pressure of
100 pounds TO the square inch by the
hydrostatic test. They were 'su1ficient to
handle the products of 800 hogs a day
if required. He also bought the entire
outfit for the lard refinery, consisting of
filter presses, agitators and earth ket-
ties and in addition an immense kettle
for rendering lard in the old way. like
IL IS made in the country. He also
bought two lard refinery drawing off agi-
tators, with a capacity of 10000 pounds
each per hour, and all the other paraphe-
MALTA that belongs to a lard refinery. He
bought a new elevator for the hog house
ana the entire OUTFIT for the sausage de-
partment. all of which is to be run by
compressed air.
1t is every day becoming more evident
that the Dold company is going to center
its big iterests in this city. and that il is
going 20 enter largely into the dressed
beef trade. just what this city needs.
