o —— DUNLEVY-FRANKLIN COMPANY Pittsburgh has an international reputation for its indus- tries. It leads all other cities in the production of iron, steel, olass, tinplate, airbrakes, railway signals, safety devices, and electrical machinery. However, it is not universally known that some of the country’s finest foods are produced here. Take the matter of hams and bacon for instance. Surely one ~ould not hope to find hams and bacon of more excellent quality than those put forth by the Dunlevy-Franklin Com- pany, originator and producer of the well known White Lily “rand. This business was founded more than fifty years ago, within the “golden triangle” on Oliver avenue near Liberty; then after constant expansion—in 1892 the Dunlevy firm located in East Liberty on Hamilton avenue adjoining the Pennsylvania Railroad, at which location the Dunlevy- Franklin Company are now doing business. They have one of the model packing houses of the country. The buildings and equipment are superior and modern in every respect. The present holdings of the company cover 70,000 feet of real estate, including 260,000 sq. ft. of floor space. The establishment is divided into four large buildings, the office building and garage, power plant, packing and smoking buildings. George L. Franklin is President of the Dunlevy-Franklin Company, which company he organized in 1921. Mr. Frank- lin is one of the leading packing house men in the country, having had a wealth of experience in this line. He was asso- sziated with Wilson & Co. in Chicago for some years, later joining forces with the Harris abattoirs of Toronto. Just prior to the World War he joined the Montreal abattoirs, which firm handled all of the Canadian meat exports to Great Britain during that trying period. Then in 1919 he came to Pittsburgh as general manager of the Dunlevy Packing Com- pany, which company he managed so successfully for three years, then reorganized same and formed the corporation of which he is now president.
