A. C. Kuhn and Company was an early dried fruit packer, formed by A.C. Kuhn, Henry E. Losse, and Mr. Larger, wholesale grocers from Indianapolis who moved to San Jose to take up the dried fruit business.
The company's name varies depending on the source. An 1891 Sanborn map shows the business as "Lossckuhn and Larger Dried Fruit Packers and Shippers", with the annotation "substantial and well-painted". A 1900 directory shows them as A.C. Kuhn & Co (A.C. Kuhn and H.E. Losse). The company appeared as H.E. Losse and Company after 1900.
A.C. Kuhn appears in a few other contexts. Kuhn purchased 1100 acres in Tulare County in 1891[1]. There's also a mention of A.C. Kuhn ranch in San Jose in 1921 in classified ad for walnut grafting wood[2]
