Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 126. C. M. Webber and Company was a Chicago-based wholesaler, with a dried fruit packing plant in San Jose. The company appears in 1896 San Jose City Directory. "Webber, Frost, and Small" appears in 1897 San Jose City Directory on Ryland near San Pedro.

Langley's 1892 San Francisco City Directory shows an office at 116 California Street.

The company had disappeared by around 1906; Walter A. Frost and Company billed themselves as "successors to C. M. Webber and Co." in 1916[1].
