Henry E. Losse was a dried fruit packer in San Jose and Santa Clara. Losse came to San Jose in 1889 to buy prunes and dried fruit for his Indianapolis-based wholesale grocery run with A.C. Kuhn and Larger. All three grocers came to California and built a packing house on Ryland Street near the Southern Pacific Market Street station[1].
The packing house burned in 1911, and the company moved to their Santa Clara branch, selling it to Rosenberg Brothers in 1917.
Losse also owned the Delmas Ranch near Sunnyvale, and 1100 acres near Visalia.
