Haxton Canning Company, from a postcard mailed in 1958. The canning industry has a long history in Oakfield. Some of the canning companies providing employment in Oakfield during the last century include AJ Tanner, George W. Haxton, Curtice-Burns, Agrilink, and Birdseye. Most of the canning operations have occured at the facility on Haxton Lane. This photo of Haxton's in the fifties should be familiar to many Oakfield alumni.
