Puritan Ice launched and ran California Lettuce Growers and, during WWII, California Vegetable Growers. In Blythe, they acquired California Produce. And their sites in Guadalupe, Lompoc, and Blythe provided space for packing sheds of numerous companies. This gallery displays some of the colorful packing labels iced and shipped through Puritan.

Don’t forget to buy the book, The Puritan Ice Companies: The Ice Empire of California’s Central Coast.

And check out images from other regions where Puritan flourished.
