Stillman_A._Moulton_drying_yard |
Santa Clara Valley dried fruit packer, located on Bascom Ave, perhaps in the former Stillman_A._Moulton_drying_yard along the railroad tracks near Campbell. One likely site would be on the east side of Bascom Ave., just north of the railroad tracks.
A bit of their business process is seen in a lawsuit from the 1907 season. San Tomas Drying bought the Morrell ranch's expected 100 ton crop of apricots for the 1907 season, "f.o.b. (freight on board) Wrights, tested at Wrights", with an expected average size of 75 per pound. "All fruit to be delivered f.o.b. packing house on Infirmatory Road, Santa Clara County."
