Hello, I would like to add new information. I also removed the word “November” and shortened the copy. Thank you. Suggested new info:

Delete: George A. Hormel (born 1860 in Buffalo, New York) worked in a Chicagoslaughterhouse before becoming a traveling wool and hide buyer. His travels took him to Austin and he decided to settle there, borrow $500, and open a meat business.[3] Hormel handled the production side of the business and his partner, Albert Friedrich, handled the retail side. The two dissolved their partnership in 1891 so that Hormel could start a complete meat packing operation on his own.[4] He opened George A. Hormel & Co. in the northeast part of Austin in an old creamerybuilding[5] on the Cedar River.[6] 

To make ends meet in those early days, Hormel continued to trade in hides, eggs, wool, and poultry. Joining George in November 1891 was his youngest brother, Benjamin, age 14. By the end of 1891 Hormel employed six men and had slaughtered and sold 610 head of livestock. By 1893, the increased use of refrigerator cars and greater efficiency had forced smaller businesses to collapse. Two additional Hormel brothers, Herman and John, joined the business that same year, and together they processed 1,532 hogs. The remaining members of the Hormel family moved to Austin in 1895 and joined the growing business. George turned to full-time management in 1899, and focused on increasing production.[7]

 Unable to review edit request

Your edit request could not be reviewed because it is unclear which references are connected to which claim statements in the text of your proposal. When proposing edit requests, it is important to highlight in the text which specific sources are doing the referencing for each claim (per WP:INTEGRITY). The point of an inline citation is to allow the reviewer and readers to check that the material is sourced; that point is lost if the citation's note number is not clearly placed. Note the example below:

☒N INCORRECT

The sun is pretty big, but the moon is not so big. The sun is also quite hot.[1][2][3]

References

      1. Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2018, p. 1.
      2. Duvalier, Gabrielle. "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 51(78):46.
      3. Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2018, p. 2.

In the example above there are three references provided, but the claim statements do not indicate which reference applies where. Instead, all the citations are bundled at the rear of the last statement. Your edit request similarly does not specify which note number applies to which statement. By bundling all the references at the end of a series of statements, the implication is that all of the sources reference all of the statements. However, in your edit request, there are several instances where a reference in a bundled set of notes only references one segment of a sentence or series of sentences. The links between material and their source references must be more clearly made (per WP:INTEGRITY), as shown in the next example below:

checkY CORRECT

The sun is pretty big,[1] but the moon is not so big.[2] The sun is also quite hot.[3]

References

  1. ^ Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2018, p. 1.
  2. ^ Duvalier, Gabrielle. "Size of the Moon", Scientific American, 51(78):46.
  3. ^ Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2018, p. 2.

In the example above, the links between the provided references and their claim statements are perfectly clear. The reference which makes the claim that the sun is "pretty big" is not bundled with the other references. Rather, it is placed exactly where it belongs. Kindly reformulate your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience.

In fact, there may have been more than one. During the Great Depression, the Roosevelt Administration came up with a plan to buy livestock from farmers and then turn it over to several meat-packing companies, including Hormel, to produce canned meat for the nation's poor. The experiment ended after only nine months. Hormel was left with 500,000 cans. Company president Jay Hormel, son of founder George Hormel, decided to make leftovers into canned beef stew. The product was so successful that Hormel had to buy up the surplus canned meat from other packers to meet the demand. Hormel needed a name for the product, so in 1935 the company bought the rights to the name Dinty Moore from a Minnesota grocer, C.F. Witt and Sons…. The name was also being used as a character in the popular comic strip "Bringing Up Father." Since the products were not in competition with each other, it was decided that there would be no confusion. But who was the Dinty Moore of the comic strip? A New York City restauranteur came forward, claiming that it was he who had inspired the character. He sued Hormel for stealing his name, but he lost the case when George McManus, creator of the comic strip, insisted that the character came from a St. Louis bellhop by that name.

Leadership request edit (idea) October 12, #3

Hello, Would you be open to adding a “leadership” section, possibly? Listing the CEOs, etc. throughout the years. Possible space saver and easier to read. Let me know and thank you.

Would be something like this (with citations, of course):

1891 Founder George A. Hormel

1929-1954 President & Chairman of the Board Jay C. Hormel

1946-1955 President & Chairman of the Board H.H. Corey

And so on, etc.

Then remove the sentences with this same info - at the same time, is that how it works? (Foresee a super large edit request, want to use best practices at all times). Hello-Mary-H (talk) 20:15, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Each plastic-enclosed pack contains four bacon strips. A paper-like material absorbs the grease inside each of the bag-like containers that, when microwaved, fully cook the bacon in four minutes.
