San Leandro Canning Company |
John W. McCarthy Jr. and Company was a California canner with packing plants in Mountain View, Graton, Healdsburg, and Santa Cruz. John W. McCarthy Jr. was the general manager. The company canned many kinds of fruits and vegetables, and also produced catsup and hot sauce.
The Mountain View plant had formerly been the P. L. Sanguinetti Canning Company.
The John W. McCarthy Jr. and Company estate went bankrupt in 1922. The company was reported sold to Charles Mel in 1922[1], with the cannery's name changing to Northern California Packing Company. However, the sale must not have gone through; the next year, the trustees for McCarthy reported a sale to the San Leandro Canning Company for $100,000 [2] The report claimed that others had offered to operate the cannery with an option to buy, but the deals fell through.
