Many of you might be familiar with the Libby Fruit Cocktail. Not sure if it is categorized as fruit, dessert, or salad, but diced fruit covered by a sweet sugary syrup in a tin can was definitely a treat.
The water tower label reads...
Libby's
Fancy Quality
Fancy Fruits for Salads
The Libby Cannery opened in 1902 might be long gone, but the tower that supplied the water to the factory and its workers still stands in the middle of Silicon Valley surrounded by high-tech companies.
Thanks to the Sunnyvale Historical Society, this is the picture of the original water tower before it was replaced by the one above in 1965.

I do remember and that is such cool photo.
Don't you know how I love water towers? This one is quite unique. I buy "any brand" fruit cocktail sweetened with splenda but I'm still glad to see a Libby's can up there. lol. Thanks for showing me.
