   Fred W. Dold, manager of the Jacob Dold Packing Company, of Wichita, Kan., is
a native of the Empire State, having been born at Buffalo, N. Y., on December
14, 1872. He is a son of the late Jacob Dold. Fred W. Dold is the manager of one
of Wichita's largest business interests. He received his educational training in
the Buffalo public schools, and, under his father's supervision, began early in
life to devote himself to business pursuits. Entering his father's concern, the
Jacob Dold Packing Company, he served in every department, from the lowest up.
At the age of twenty-one he became a stockholder, and October 1, 1899, was
elected manager of the Wichita branch of the Buffalo house. This extensive
business enterprise was conceived and carried into execution by Jacob Dold, the
elder. Beginning when a poor boy, trading in cattle, selling both beef and
hides, in 1888 he founded the stock company which bears his name. In the same
year a branch was established at Kansas City, and the Wichita house was also
founded, being now among the most substantial in the country. In 1900 the last
frame building was replaced by more substantial structures of brick and stone. A
more extended mention of the plant is given in the historical portion of this
work. Fred W. Dold, the manager, has a high reputation for business ability, and
is an important factor in the business life of Wichita. The officers of the
company are as follows: Jacob C. Dold, president; Fred W. Dold, vice-president;
Edward F. Dold, second vice-president and treasurer; Charles H. Dold, third
vice-president; Philip B. Dold, secretary-Fred W. Dold being manager of the
Wichita branch. Jacob Dold died in October, 1909. After the death of George P.
Dold, Fred W. came to Wichita and took charge of the plant. Mr. Dold is a
thirty-second degree Mason and a Knight Templar. He is also a member of the
Commercial Club, the Riverside Club, and the Country Club. He was married in
1901 to Miss Lena Cox, daughter of Hon. L. M. Cox, who was mayor of Wichita. Of
this union two children have been born, Frederick L. and Richard C. Dold.
