Fruit cannery run by Elton R. Shaw, supposedly known for their fancy fruit packed in glass jars and high-quality jams.
The May 30, 1910 Hawaiian Star noted that Elton Shaw had been working with the Hawaiian Pineapple Company, and had formerly been a sales manager for the "Economy Jar", and had just acquired the entire property and business of the Hyde-Shaw Company of San Jose, "one of the very few concerns in the United States that have made a success of packing fruits in glass." The Hawaiian Pineapple Company and its shareholders were planning to watch the business with Shaw, and hoped to can pineapple juice at a later date.
The cannery was sold in 1915 to Richardson and Robbins from Delaware according to the March 13, 1915 California Fruit News. Shaw was "well known in California", and would be taking responsibility for both the company's Dover, Delaware plant as well as the California plant. Richardson and Robbins planned to expand the plant significantly, but ended up selling it back to Shaw in April 1918.
Edith Daley visited the plant in the August 5, 1919 San Jose Evening News. She notes that Richardson and Robbins sold the plant back to Shaw in April 1918, and the plant was then known as the Shaw Family Cannery.
