John W. McCarthy Jr. and Company was a California canner with packing plants in Mountain View, Graton, Healdsburg, and Santa Cruz. John W. McCarthy Jr. founded the company in 1914[1]. The company canned many kinds of fruits and vegetables, and also produced catsup and hot sauce.
The Mountain View plant had formerly been the P. L. Sanguinetti Canning Company; it was bought by McCarthy and operated under the old name. The Graton cannery was leased.
In 1920, the company became a Delaware corporation. The John W. McCarthy Jr. and Company estate went bankrupt in 1922. The company was reported sold to Charles Mel in 1922[2], with the cannery's name changing to Northern California Packing Company. However, the sale must not have gone through; the next year, the trustees for McCarthy reported a sale to the San Leandro Canning Company for $100,000 [3] The report claimed that others had offered to operate the cannery with an option to buy, but the deals fell through.
