The cannery was started in 1917[2], with its plant about two miles northeast of Newark on the Western Pacific Railroad[3]. The company also had a plant at Pittsburg, California<refMany Canneries Receive Licenses>California Department of Public Health Weekly Bulletin, January 23, 1926 </ref> The company lasted into the 1930's as a tomato canner[4].
