George E. Hyde, the main stockholder of the growers’ union, turned its plant into George E. Hyde & Company in 1913, packing canned and dried fruit under labels such as Hyde’s Quality and Sunni-Brite. The company built a day nursery and tents for workers and bused workers in from San Jose.
The cannery closed in the Depression, and Sunsweet used the buildings from 1933; Sunsweet Growers ran the site from 1937 until 1971. The brick buildings now form Water Tower Plaza. Alice Avenue is named for Hyde’s wife.
