Davis later began canning his chili and marketing it in the immediate area, produced by his company, Lyman's Pure Food Products.
[1] In 1924, Lyman sold the Wolf brand to J. C. West and Fred Slauson who began expanding the area of distribution for the chili beyond Corsicana.
Salesmen drove distinctive can-shaped trucks labeled with the chili's name, sometimes with Davis' pet wolf in a cage in the back.
[2] In 1950, Fred Slauson, a gifted artist, sold his half of the company to Doyle and James West then moved to New Mexico to paint.
[citation needed] In 1957 Quaker Oats of Chicago purchased Wolf Brand from then owners Doyle and James West.
