 '''Richardson and Robbins''' was an east-coast based canner from Dover, Delaware.  Richardson and Robbins bought the [[Hyde-Shaw Company]] from E. R. Shaw and the [[Hawaiian Pineapple Company]] in 1915.  Hyde-Shaw was well-known for high quality jams and fruit canned in glass; the [[Hawaiian Pineapple Company]] had planned to use the cannery to provide pineapple juice to the mainland, but sold the cannery after only five years.
