King-Morse Canning Company was an early San Francisco-based canner operated by by Charles J. King "of William" and Issac Harrison Morse. King had operated the Charles J. King Company (Williams & Co?), an early canner founded in San Francisco in the 1870's; Morse appears to have been a wholesaler[1].
The company was sold to the San Jose Fruit Packing Company in 1885[2], and later folded into the California Fruit Canners Association in July 1899[3]. Local growers were particularly incensed at King-Morse's inclusion in the CFCA after their efforts and inducements to get the company to open the cannery[4].
