A Fruit Growers Overview

Fruit Growers, 1921–Ed Standard

This is something a little bit on the lighter side. Personally, I happen to like this view of Fruit Growers Supply Company of its office/residential section, prior to the construction of its famed three-story Story Club. From the angle it was taken, and probably from the mill’s smokestacks, there is no indication in the background  that Susanville exists. Today, the site is best known as Riverside Park.

  1. Tim, as long as I’ve lived in Rio Linda, I’ve heard that Fruit Growers Supply donated the land here in town for the first grammar school (L Street near 6th) and the Methodist Church (large chunk of land at 6th and M Streets). Is there anything in your records that speaks to this issue, either pro or con?
