George N. Herbert Packing Company |
Relatively unknown canner, occupying the former George N. Herbert Packing Company plant. Evidence exists for the company existing between 1928 and 1935; it's unclear how long before or after the company existed.
The first mention of the company is in 1928 when the company attempted to build a new spur and warehouse. The spur on Keyes Street upset nearby property owners because Keyes was an arterial thoroughfare[1]. The warehouse went up in mid 1928 at Fourth and Keyes:[2]
"INDUSTRIAL building, one-story, $20,000 Fourth and Keyes Sts., San Jose; owner. Pacific Coast Canners, Third and Keyes Sts., San Jose; architect. Company draftsman; contractor, Lindgren & Swinerton, 225 Bush Street. San Francisco."
The company produced catsup; the FDA destroyed adulterated catsup produced by the company[3]
A newspaper article about incorrectly weighted lug boxes suggests that Pacific Coast Canners had a plant in Oakland in 1930[4] Boxes shrank by weight when dried, cutting the money given to growers.
The company suffered a strike in 1935 (Oakland Tribune, March 31, 1935)
