DUNLEVY-FRANKLIN COMPANY

Pittsburgh has an international reputation for its industries.
 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 Company,
 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. Franklin
 is one of the leading packing house men in the country,
having had a wealth of experience in this line. He was assosziated
 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 Company,
 which company he managed so successfully for three
years, then reorganized same and formed the corporation of
which he is now president.
