History of the brand

Developed in 1895 by Lyman T. Davis of Corsicana, Texas, the product was originally sold as Lyman's Famous Home Made Chili, but was renamed in the early 1920s after Lyman's pet wolf, Kaiser Bill.

Its trademarked slogan, ""Neighbor, how long has it been since you had a big, thick, steaming bowl of Wolf Brand Chili? ... Well, that's too long!" is familiar to many Texans and is quoted on numerous web sites discussing fond memories of the product or how to acquire it outside the state.

Famous devotees

A web site for the preservation of the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells, Texas, states that the hotel maintained a supply of Wolf Brand for the visits of country singer Ernest Tubb. [http://spiritofthebaker.com/wall_of_fame.htm Spirit of the Baker: Wall of Fame]

Apocryphal stories claim that Will Rogers was a great fan of Wolf Brand and either took a case with him when traveling, or traveled to Corsicana whenever possible to obtain the product (which was not sold outside Texas until 1954).
