Description
Packed at San Jose, Santa Clara County, California. The label features an image of the Seal Rocks off the coast of San Francisco. Includes the instruction, "When open, remove the fruit from the can." The Pacific Packing Company was a member of the California Fruit Canners Association, which was founded in 1899. In 1916 the Association merged with Central California Canneries, Griffen & Skelley, and the J. K. Armsby Company to become the California Packing Corporation. California Packing Corp. sold its products under a number of proprietary and distributive labels, including their premium brand, Del Monte. In June 1967, the company name was officially changed to the Del Monte Corporation.
