A. E. Newby was a San Jose dried fruit packer. His business was listed in an 1896 city directory.
A significant fire hit the Willows plant on November 15, 1894. It described the packing house as a "brick structure of three stories covered by a corrugated iron roof." The fire destroyed a large grader (capacity 50 tons/day), several elevators, 25 drapers, dippers, scales, 35,000 cherry boxes, and six or seven carloads of fruit[1].
