The Hollister Canning Company was a packer in San Benito County, founded by the Felice brothers in 1916. The company was first located in the former Victor Mills plant operated by Sperry Flour[3]. The company was owned by the Felice brothers in 1922[4]. The company planned to pack 500 tons of apricots, 500 tons of peaches, and 1500 tons of tomatoes during the 1922 season[5].
A internet post claims the company canned for Del Monte and others in the 1950's[6].
