Always steam hot dog buns. Basic secret is good soft bun. Next, never boil wieners - simmer in hot water about 30 minutes.

CHILI:

1/4 lb. ground pork
3/4 lb. ground beef
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin or sage
3 tbsp. paprika
1/4 c. tomato catsup
1 qt. water

Mix meat and water (do not brown meat). Bring to slow boil for about 2 hours. This can be stored in refrigerator several days. Take off fat after its cool. This was back when hot dogs sold for 5 cents and hamburgers sold for 10 cents.
