The "Campbell plant" was sold to California Canneries (probably California Cooperative Canneries) in 1919[1][2].

In 1915, the cannery packed 1,500 cases of canned and dried fruit, two boilers, employed between 45-50 cannery workers during the season. Payne won a Bronze Medal at the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco for that season's excellent product. Newspaper ads from 1919 request women to help with canning pears and tomatoes.
