The Santa Clara Valley Canning Company was a little-known canner located at Eighth and Taylor in San Jose, organized in 1920. Gaspare and Anthony Greco were the principals; they'd previously run the Alba Canning Company[1]. (Another source claims that Philip and Nicholas Barbaccia founded the company[2].) The plant was described as a "three line fruit cannery at Eighth and Taylor"[3].
A few records do exist for their demise. The company lost a judgement against Pacific Shingle and Box in 1921 for $2300[4]. As a result of the judgement, the Santa Clara County Sherriff intended to sell lots the company owned in the Divine's Survey #2 subdivision, which included land around the California Packing Corporation's plant near North 7th Street The company must have declared bankruptcy soon after, for bankruptcy trustees later declared on June 9, 1922 they'd be selling the cannery[5].
The cannery eventually sold to Greco Canning Company in 1922[6].
