Begun in 1922 by Egbert Eggleston, his son Fay, and son-in-law Roy Wright, what would eventually become a multimillion-dollar business started out the Vernon Meat Company in the back of a local grocery store. The initial pork bellies used for making bacon were delivered via railroad cars, covered in salt for preservation, and eventually painted with liquid smoke at Roy Wright.〔(Wright Brand Foods )〕 Four years later in 1926 Vernon Meat Company constructed a dedicated housing and shipping plant. The company continued reselling products from other companies, including cheese, tea, beans, vinegar, preserves, and syrup. Initial success led to a burgeoning contribution from other family members eager to help now-manager Roy Wright run Vernon Meat.〔(Wright Brand Foods )〕 In light of continued growth, a slaughterhouse was built which allowed Vernon Meat to control their belly production from the ground up. Near disaster struck, however, in 1938 when a massive fire consumed most of the plant, including the slaughterhouse. The Eggleston family decided to erect another plant, this time having it federally inspected (inspection #577). The new facility also saw the advent of a new company name—the Vernon Packing Company. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wright Brand Foods」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
