Description
This
1935
photograph
shows
an
ivy-covered
Libby
,
McNeill
and
Libby
cannery
,
bordering
Stockton
Boulevard
. On the

the
cannery’s
first
floor
receiving
area
while
just

is
the
can
storage
room
. In
September
1912
, the
Chicago-based
company
purchased
8.93
acres
of
land
between
Thirty-First
Street
and
Stockton
Boulevard
with the
intent
of
building
a
fruit
and
vegetable
canning
factory
. The
triangle
was
ideal
for the
company
as
it
could
access
Southern
Pacific
and
Sacramento
Northern
railroads
.
When
finished
, the
cannery
, with its
main
building
,
receiving
room
,
preserving
plant
,
cooking
and
cooling
plant
, and
warehouses
was
considered
to be the
largest
of its
kind
in the
entire
world
. The
$1,000,000
facility
opened
in
July
1913
with a
workforce
of
600
. By
September
1914
the
plant
was
operating
at
full
capacity
,
turning
out
nearly
106,000
cans
a
day
.
