Julius Antonius Landsberger was a San Francisco businessman born in 1974 and dying in 1941. Landsberger was president of Hunt Brothers Packing Company around 1920. Landsberger also held two patents on economy metal jar lids with a composition gasket[1][2][3].
Landsberger was quite the fashionista, picking up on the pajama trend early[4]:
It pays to be fastidious. Julius Landsberger, president of Hunt Brothers Packing Company, San Francisco, recently met with an annoying and what might have been perhaps a more difficult experience in coming home from a trip out of town. Mr. Landsberger had the misfortune to have his clothes stolen from his Pullman berth just before arrival. This made it necessary, according to the daily press reporters on duty at the depot, for the executive head of Hunt Brothers Packing Company to make a dash for his taxicab, meanwhile demonstrating the care he uses in the selection of his haberdashery. While the eyewitness accounts differ as to the color, either is satisfactory, one reporter announcing that Mr. Landsberger was clad in lavender pajamas and another claiming they were light blue. The main features of his experience seem to be verified, except that Mr. Landsberger denies that he carried a cane.
