Description
"Bi-A-Can" Apricots is a play on words to encourage consumers to buy a can of "Bi-A-Can Brand Apricots." The Richmond-Chase logo reads, "From the Valley of Heart's Delight", the nickname for the Santa Clara Valley. 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.
