Susan,
Information in response to original query. I have 4 pages of text from
an unpublished Forest Service document by Jim Rock  (A Brief Commentary
on Cans, 1987) that has summary information concerning Folger's. I can
fax them to you if you could give me a fax number off list. Rock cites
two sources that I believe will be hard to find but I'll repeat them
here. Since Folger's originated in San Francisco, you may have better
luck with California libraries for obscure sources.
 
(1) Ruth Waldo Newhall (no date) The Folger Way: Coffee Pioneering since
1850. J. A. Folger and Co., San Francisco.
 
(2) Evalene Pulati (1973) Illustrated Tin Containers Guide. Privately
Published. Santa Ana, California.
 
Hope this helps.
