Details

Started in 1912 in northern Sacramento Valley. 25 associated local associations. Hit problems in 1916, disappeared. Sunsweet Story p.42: "The most extensive cooperative dried fruit packing and marketing association up to that time." A. & C. Ham bought equipment from their Emeryville plant in 1917 according to report of packing house fire in 1917. Any chance the Del Monte cannery had been theirs?
