Description
This R-C Brand label was used by the Richmond-Chase Company for a 25 pound crate of prunes. The illustration of prunes, peaches, and apricots could be repeated on crate labels for the different fruits by changing the name of the fruit printed on the right side. Founded in 1919, by Elmer E. Chase and Edmund N. Richmond the Richmond-Chase Company operated as an independent cannery until 1958. The Richmond-Chase Company operated a 27-acre plant in San Jose and 21-acre plant in Stockton. Hundreds were employed at the peak of each season. In 1958 Richmond-Chase became a division of the California Canners and Growers, which closed in 1982.
