Nearly Two Years in Forming.
In May, 1904. the movement which
has ended in the present development
of a packing house was begun. At that
and surrounding territory was held in
Salt Lake for the purpose of determin-
ing the feasibility of establishing a
packing plant large enough to take
care of the stock in the vicinity of Salt
Lake. 1t was decided at that time
such a plant would be a paying invest
ment James G. Leary undertook the
work of organizing a company for the
purpose named. Stock was offered for
coll
time Business men gave the move
ment moral but not financial support
! The amount raised at that time was
4; between SIS, 900 and $4,000.
Finding it impossible to raise enough
money for the project among business
men, some of the larger wholesale
meat concerns were approached by the
promoters One of these, knight &.
Co. agreed to combine its interests
with the projected concern, under
proper conditions.

pany. His efforts met with success.

nent business men in Salt Lake and
several other Utah and Idaho cities
