| Occupation | Canner |
Vernon Campbell was a canning expert and operator of canneries. Campbell is best known for inventing a process for canning ripe olives, which turned into the Lindsay Ripe Olive Company[1]. Campbell later was known as the public face of the California Cooperative Canneries, an Armour-backed company intended to help the meatpacker get into the fruit business. After a long battle, Armour lost on anti-trust grounds.
Campbell had also been the manager of a Tulare cannery, and was quoted in the July 26, 1913 California Fruit News.
