'''Harry Pyle''' was the son of early canner John Francis Pyle, and operator of the [[J.F. Pyle Cannery]] for many years. Pyle sold the cannery in 1923<ref>Pyle Cannery Will Change Ownership: [http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=hBZgAAAAIBAJ&sjid=RSANAAAAIBAJ&pg=1973%2C2126683 February 9, 1922 San Jose Evening News]. "While we have not yet signed papers with Mr. Barron and Mr. Gray," said Harry Pyle today, "we have just come to terms. We are selling just our plant - nothing else. Our labels, trade, etc. we retain... we are getting out at present because we are tired of being squeezed... When it comes to hiring labor and making improvements we have the American plan on one side and the labor unions on the other. Then when it comes to buying and selling our fruit we have the fruit associations, who as a steep price for their fruit, on one side and the fruit jobbers on the other and we are between the upper and lower mill stones and are squeezed. So we don't want any more of the game for the present."</ref>.

Pyle continued to run orchards in the Santa Clara valley for many years, and talked about the experience in a 1936 article<ref>"I want grocerying that works for farmers." [http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=1PIzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7-4HAAAAIBAJ&pg=4742%2C589242

 In 1936, an advertisement from Safeway's "Farm Reporter" noted that Pyle and his brother operated four fruit ranches covering 450 acres and producing 1650 tons of prunes.  They also grew pears and walnuts.  Their "home ranch" was 68 acres in Berryessa; the 80 acre Singleton ranch had walnut trees.  Two other ranches were in Gilroy and Hollister.

 "We farmers have had to use the most efficient methods of producing.  We grow, pack, and ship under modern methods.  We control quality and grade.  But we can't follow through to the final consumer.  Some distributor must do that for us.  we've had our troubles and surpluses - sure.  But it would have been a lot worse if there had been no chain stores to take our products to the consumer."

 Pyle lived for many years at 887 South Seventh St., San Jose. On a 1930 census form, he listed his occupation as "retired".
