George E. Hyde & Company

The Campbell Packing Corporation was a short-lived canner operating in the former George E. Hyde & Company cannery in the early 1930's. The Campbell Packing Corporation was run by W.A. Bundy [1], a former Haslett Warehouse Company employee. The company packed apricots, pears and peaches in 1933, and pears and nectarines in 1934. Their 1934 season packed 10,000 cases of nectarines[2].The company appears to have disappeared by 1937, with their warehouse used to store off-grade prunes[3].

Campbell Packing initially leased the plant in the 1933 season[4], and certainly produced fruit that season. (The FDA entered a judgement against the company in 1934 for selling canned apricots with insufficient sugar to meet standards[5]. The apricots were packed for and labeled for the Washington Grocery Company of Bellingham Washington, and had been shipped in the 1933 season.) The company was in the process of buying the cannery in 1934[6] Campbell Packing built a new receiving warehouse in 1934, using materials from Campbell businesses, with a certain amount of crankiness for the materials they did not buy in town[7]. The company experimented with pear cutting machines in the 1934 season, but ended up returning to manual labor by women[8].

The FDA entered a judgement against the company in 1934 for selling canned apricots with insufficient sugar to meet standards. The apricots were packed for and labeled for the Washington Grocery Company of Bellingham Washington, and had been shipped in the 1933 season.
