The Orchard City Canning Company (also known as the Payne Cannery) was a Campbell cannery established around 1910 by Perley B. Payne Sr. The cannery was supposed to have been closed during World War I because the company couldn't sell to their biggest customer in Austria. The cannery was leased to California Canners Company in 1917, with Payne running the plant. The "Campbell plant" was sold to California Canneries (probably California Cooperative Canneries) in 1919[1][2].
In 1915, the cannery packed 1,500 cases of canned and dried fruit, two boilers, employed between 45-50 cannery workers during the season. Payne won a Bronze Medal at the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco for that season's excellent product. Newspaper ads from 1919 request women to help with canning pears and tomatoes.
