Summary
Apricot and prune pit processor, run for many years by Sewall Brown. The facility had been a "dried fruit packing plant":/view/gem_city_packing_company originally, but was sold to Sunsweet and spent most of its life breaking up apricot pits.
A great article from the July 23, 1928 San Jose Evening News describes the business and includes a choice interview with Mr. Brown himself.
