Basket Manufacturers Since 1919
Texas Basket Company's earliest baskets were made for harvesting, transporting & storing fruits and vegetables - mainly tomatoes. Prior to World War II, Jacksonville, Texas was known as "The Tomato Capital of the World". Jacksonville's rich red soil produces flavorful tomatoes that were hauled by wagons or automobiles to a downtown area called the "Tomato Sheds". This area consisted of many open-air sheds alongside the Missouri Pacific railroads. Baskets full of tomatoes were loaded on the train cars and shipped by rail across the United States.
