By the turn of the 20th century, the company was Maine's largest vegetable canning business, an industry that exceeded the combined size of the state's slate, granite, and ice harvesting business in economic importance.

It functioned primarily as a storage facility, and was in 1927 sold to Blake Rounds Supply Company.
