Book regarding the memorial addresses delivered in Congress for Frank Henry Buck dated 1945.
In 1933, 47 years after its founding, the Buck Co. was bought up by the Pacific Fruit Exchange, though the ranches continued to be operated by the family. The Reporter wrote on Jan. 20, 1933: “The Pacific Fruit Exchange, one of the leading fruit selling and shipping organizations of Northern California, will handle the shipping and sales accounts of the Frank H. Buck Co., as well as the shipments of fruit from the individual ranches of Frank H. Buck and his brother, Dr. Leonard Buck, of Vacaville.”
That same year, Frank Buck Jr. won his seat as the Congressional Representative for the third district, encompassing Solano, Napa, San Joaquin, Sacramento and Yolo counties - a seat he would retain until his death in 1942. He defeated his opponent Charles Forrest Curry, a republican, in a sensational race by 16,462 votes.Collection
