Wolf Brand Chili Mobile

Post by Wayne »

Little history. You fellows up north may never have had a bowl of Wolf Brand Chili and not know what I'm talking about. Wolf Brand Chili had it's beginning here in Corsicana. A Butcher named Lyman would take his cuttings and make chili and sell a bowl for 5 cents and all the crackers you could eat on Beaton street. When they started canning it they changed the name to Wolf Brand because he had a pet wolf. They built these Wolf Brand Chili Mobiles for their traveling sales people. Had one lady who drove around and sold for them. Here is a couple of pictures taken yesterday as they delivered a remade one to Pioneer Village. It ran out of gas as he was trying to get it in the barn. So we had to push it into it's new home.

Mike, If you came back for another tour I would give you the deluxe 50 cent tour and could get you into all the top spots free. My X wife used to say I told people way more than they wanted to know, I think she was jealous and being tacky.
