Whooley Packing Co.
Rapidly ~Enlarging

It may not be generally known, bnt,
1t is nevertheless a fsct that the,
Whoeiay Packing; conapany is fast
forging to the 'front.' az one Of the
solid Industries of the northwest.
The Whooley Packing company has
recently enlarged ia plant and new.
and modern machinery and equipment
has been added which has doubled
the killing and packing capacity Of
the plant.
When Dave Whooley, the president.
of the company took hold of this
plant II was nothing more than a
wreck and out of the wreck Mr..
Whooley has succeeded In building
up q packing plant which is a credit
to himself and his company.
Who is this man Whooley? There
are several of the Whooley brothers
and they are all mighty good fellows
and good business men-but the pack
ing house man Is etDave" as he IL
Familiarity called. You will find Dave
at the packing plant late and early.
You will find him there with his over.
alls and jacket on working right with
the men. He gives the business his
closest attention and you a bet that
he knows everything that is going
on at the plant all the time. There
may be several hundred hogs in the
yard waiting to be slaughtered; all
Dave has to do is to cast his eye over
the bunch in the morning and he can
tell at a glance IL there are any hogs
missing. He is here and there and
everywhere and is not afraid of work.
AS a bookeeper and expert account
ant he is there and over-he could
not have held his job as head book
keeper at the Park & Grant whole
sale grocery for SO many years II he
didn't have the punch and ability.
When the Whooley Packing COM
pany was organized and took over
the old defunct packing house some
of the local people said in no un.
certain tones that the business could
never be made to pay, but this did
not discourage Dave Whooley; he
put a good bunch of his own money
into the enterprise and pulled OFF his
coat and went after it
What is the result? *
A big success, Of course.
What does this packing plant mean
for Watertown and Codington coun
ty?
1t NEAR simply this.
1t gives employment to many work
men at good wages.
1t gives the farmers and stockmen
a good market for their stock the
year around at the top market prices.
1t can that WATERFOWL will soon
be known all over the northwest as
the home of the Whooley Packing
company and the producers of the
best hams and bacon in the world.
Did you aver eat any hams or bacon
made by the Whooley Packing COM
pany? Possibly yon have not. Well,
sir, you have missed something-it|
is the finest ham and bacon that youl
threw you lip over and will
melt in your face like a raisin.
The way to build up an %institution
of this kind is to use the product of
the home packing company. Stop
f~attening up the swifts, Armours and
Cudhays and put a little fat on your
own ribs by patronizing a home in-
dustry.
There is no joke about this--it isl
goods.
This same quiet, u~nassuming Dave
Whooiey Is also one Of the city CONF
nissioners and has charge of the del
partnent Of finance. He never makes
any ag~rand-stand' plays-his head Isl
working all the time-and you will
