The Indian Packing Company was a company that was involved in the canned meat industry and was incorporated in Delaware on July 22, 1919.[1] Its canned meat sold as "Council Meats." When the company was absorbed by the Illinois-based Acme Packing Company in 1921, it had facilities in Green Bay, Wisconsin; Providence, Rhode Island; Greenwood, Indiana; and Dupont, Indiana.[2][3] At the time of the sale it was controlled by New England Supply Company of Providence, Rhode Island, with F.P Comstock as its principal owner.[1]
Among its slogans were "A meat market on your pantry shelf" and "From the Wisconsin country to you."[4]
The Acme Meat Packing Company closed in June 1943 because of supply shortages related to World War II; it did not reopen after the war.[5]
The company gave its name to the Green Bay Packers.[6] The football team took its name after Curly Lambeau, a shipping clerk for the company, successfully asked the company's owner, Frank Peck, for money for jerseys and use of the company's athletic field in 1919.[7][8]
