Description
This Gold Belt Brand label could be used for any fruit canned by Richmond-Chase Company. The type of fruit would have been printed in the blue space below the illustration of fruit at a later date. 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.
