On May 23, 1942, eighteen boys from Pierce and Kitsap Counties, members of the Future Farmers of America, were presented by Sears, Roebuck and Co. with young wiggling, squealing pure bred female pigs. The pigs came from the Carstens Packing Co. and the boys are photographed in front of the Carsten's general office. Three male pigs were also donated to the F.F.A. to be used in a "chain-litter" program. The pigs were to be bred and from each new litter, the boys were to donate 1 or 2 of the female piglets to fellow F.F.A. members. (T.Times 5/25/1942 p.12)

On May 15, 1947, employees of the Carstens Packing Company gathered around their new Kartridg-Pack machine. Some of the women were working on the sausage packing line, while other employees were admiring the end product. The new machinery packed the wieners side-by-side, bound together by paper loops instead of the usual method of stringing them tail-to-tail. The Kartridge-Pack had the ability to pack 3,200 pounds of wieners per 8 hour shift. (T.Times, 5/21/1947, p.7)
