my dad used to buy from them back in the day.
Daisy brand natural casing hot dogs(still my favorite dog today) are what we would get. Also the veal bologna & smoked butt, that is good stuff as well.
thanks for the link I am going to have to pay a visit.

Crawford Sausage has been mentioned here a number of times in these threads:
Czech Places - following Bourdain
Tomato Beer, chislic, and jitrnice
Where to purchase hot dogs to take home and which szech. Res
Polish Sausage / kiszka in western 'burbs?
Whassup wit da sossidge outside a da Windy City?
In short, in addition to natural casing hot dogs, they're known for Czech sausages that are getting increasingly hard to find as the small neighborhood butcher shops close. Here are a couple specific posts you may be interested in.In November 2004 Rene G wrote:Amata wrote:Crawford Sausage Company

Anyone familiar with this place?
Crawford Sausage Company is a fairly large factory, one of the last Eastern European businesses remaining in Little Village (the only other I'm aware of is Troha's Shrimp House on 26th, family-owned since 1920). Crawford Sausage started in 1925, when Pulaski Road was known as Crawford Avenue. Their Daisy Brand sausages are sold at a fair number of local delis and markets. It seems Daisy occupies a similar market niche as the upstart Bobak's (1967), moderately priced specialty sausages a big step up from Oscar Mayer et al. but below the quality of some small local artisanal shops. I was aware (from their website) that Daisy made klobosy, or cream sausage, but have never seen it in any store. I've been hoping to stop by the factory to get some but I'm always stymied by their early closing hours (noon on Saturday, closed Sunday). I have my doubts it would measure up to Jim's but you never know. And all this has reminded me I have yet to visit Morini's to see if Jim's klobosy has reappeared in La Grange Park.In January 2009 Rene G wrote:Locally, Crawford Sausage makes jaternice ("white jets") as well as the related jelita ("black jets"). You can occasionally find these at supermarkets or just pick them up at the factory on Pulaski (Crawford).
