According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochelle,_Illinois (and other similar sites) Rochelle became a meat packing center with the Swift plant after WWII. Which would coincide with the 1948 date we have discussed before. Hormel purchased the plant in 1993 and did some expansion after that.

 

Somewhere I one time came across something that indicated that Rochelle Foods LLS built the plant about 1933. But I cannot confirm. Swift acquired the plant, apparently after the war. I have a reference that says Rochelle Foods had an auction, but I have no date for the sale. More than one plant did not survive the depression. And some sat empty for a while before being picked up by another company.
