S. J. Spoletra was the builder of a potential fruit drying plant on Race Street in San Jose. The company announced plans for a two story drying plant in 1919. The builder was Robert Summers, and architect was Binder and Curtis[1][2]. The building would be concrete, two story, and "exceptionally well-lit[3]. (Perhaps the future United States Products cannery?)
The company had been assigned a patent on dehydrating machinery[4].
