Dried fruit packer in San Jose and Santa Clara.

[http://www.mariposaresearch.net/santaclararesearch/SCBIOS/wclosse.html Sawyer's 1922 History of Santa Clara County] notes that Henry Losse came to San Jose in 1889 to buy prunes and dried fruit for his Indianapolis-based wholesale grocery run with [[A.C. Kuhn]] and Larger. All three grocers came to California and built a packing house on Ryland Street near the Southern Pacific Market Street station.

The packing house burned in 1911, and the company moved to their Santa Clara branch, selling it to [[Rosenberg Brothers]] in 1911.
