Details

Primarily interesting for the Santa Clara Valley because of Dole's ownership of the Barron-Gray cannery from 1948-1969. Dole also had land in San Jose in 1914, probably related to their partial ownership of the [[Hyde-Shaw Company.

The Dole building headquarters still exists in San Jose, and is a modernist landmark.

Cannery sold to Tri-Valley and closed in 1969. Sale was reported in Mercury News on 4/22/1969. Dole kept the land, and Tri-Valley took the equipment to Modesto. Food testing lab moved to Westlake Village in 1992.

See video from 1950's In 1964, there were separate phone numbers for business office, warehouse office and receiving, hiring shift schedules for the cannery, weigh master and scale house, nurse, raw products, and personnel office.
