BaySide Cannery (sometimes identified as Bayside or Bay Side) was the third largest cannery in the United States in the 1920s. It was owned by Thomas Foon Chew, a Chinese immigrant to California.
Thomas Foon Chew was born in the late 1880s in China and came to San Francisco with his mother and his father in 1897. How this was possible, following the implementation of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, we don't know.
What we do know, is that Thomas Foon, as he liked to be called, looked for solutions all his life, outside the existing paradigm. How he did this and who mentored him, we also don't know. But in his short life, he found great success and helped many others along the way.
