The San Martin Cannery was a cannery in the south end of the Santa Clara valley. In 1930, the owner was R.G. Mussolino[1].
The cannery itself was erected in 1907, originally as winery that was part of California Wine Association. The cannery burned in April 1932[2]. The cannery had not been in operation since the tomato pack six months before. The foreman at the time of the fire was Sully De Carlo, and the plant owned by R. G. Mussolino. The fire wiped out the main building and machinery of their plant located on the Monterey Highway, with damages estimated at $25,000 and the loss of 5,000 cases of canned goods[3].
The company was still in existence in 1946 when a fire on the company's land burned an acre of land[4].
