Garcia and Maggini was a dried fruit, nuts, and honey processor in San Francisco. Garcia and Maggini also sold almonds[1] and dried apples[2]. In 1919, the company sold one million pounds of fruit to the U.S. Government[3]. The company had a warehouse at 128 and 136 King Street, famous as the site of a violent clash during the Maritime Strike of 1934[4]
