This manufacturer of fortune cookies was in operation at this Geary Street location c. 1906. At this time, the Benkyodo Candy Factory operated a mechanical sembei machine that could produce fortune cookies rapidly with a minimum of hand-labor. (See Gary T. Ono, "Japanese American Fortune Cookie: A Taste of Fame or Fortune - Part 2,"Accessed 04/12/2012.)
