Records of a canning company headquartered in Columbus, Wis., that was founded in 1900 as the Columbus Canning Company and packed peas and corn at various locations in the Midwest. In 1946, the company was purchased by Stokely-Van Camp, Inc. Included are minutes, annual reports, and extensive financial records, as well as correspondence of company officers William C. Leitsch and Fred A. Stare with other food processing companies and trade associations, the federal government, and the University of Wisconsin. Stare and Leitsch were both active in organizations such as the Canned Pea Marketing Cooperative, the Canned Pea Marketing Institute, the Canners Seed Corporation, the National Canners Association, the Wisconsin Canners Association, and the Wisconsin Pea Packers Association. Some correspondence concerns their involvement with federal agencies that dealt with food production and distribution during World War I and World War II and the regulation of the industry during the 1930s. Also included are photographs of the Sun Prairie Canning Co. showing exteriors of buildings and workers; and an image of a flock of sheep in a paddock, related to the Columbus Canning Co.
