East-coast based canner from Dover, Delaware. Richardson and Robbins bought the Hyde-Shaw Company from E. R. Shaw and the Hawaiian Pineapple Company in 1915. Hyde-Shaw was well-known for high quality jams and fruit canned in glass; the Hawaiian Pineapple Company had planned to use the cannery to provide pineapple juice to the mainland, but sold the cannery after only five years.
Richardson and Robbins sold the company back to Shaw in April 1918. After 1918, the plant was known as the Shaw Family Cannery.
