Dualite Products, Inc. The chain is still in the unopened plastic. The Tobin Packing Co. was a meat-packing company known for its First Prize Hots and a major employer in northwest Rochester for decades. Tobin once employed as many as 700 people at its Maple Street plant and was the city's largest meat processor and among the biggest in the country. The company was an innovator with its "white hots" and known for quality products, as described in a 1956 Democrat and Chronicle story. "Tobin Packing is called the Tiffany of the meat-packing industry and some of its prices are higher because of the high standard of raw materials used," Don Record wrote in the story. "Quality has been a major factor in the outstanding success of the business." News accounts from that era said Tobin was the only sausage maker in the area whose plant was federally inspected. The business roots started in 1921, when Frederick M. Tobin bought a controlling interest in the Rochester Packing Co. A Syracuse native, Tobin started in the meat business as a salesman for a Buffalo company before rising through the ranks there and at a Utica plant. They made their white hots out of 50 percent stale bread, some pork, veal and beef and gave them away in free lunches. They were white because of the bread and the gray color of the veal and pork.
