This was one of thirty packing plants that the California Prune and Apricot Growers cooperative owned in CA in 1922. Not only was the production of fruit itself a big business, but it also supported transportation companies, metal producers, can companies, and assembly-line machine manufacturers, many of whom had built factories in the San Francisco Bay Area by World War I.

Sawyer, History of Santa Clara County, California, with Biographical Sketches of the Leading Men and Women of the County Who Have Been Growth and Development from the Early Days to the Present, [Los Angeles: Historic Record Company, 1922], p. 135-145.)
