Biloxi Trading and Packing Company
The Biloxi Packing & Trading Company was incorporated in September 1920. The organization was composed primarily of Croatian immigrant fishermen: Jake Rosetti, Vincent Rosetti, Vlocho Milion, Grego Anticich, Mary Skrmetta Anticich, Mike Kulivan, John Skrmetta, and John Mavar. Frank Bosarge was the only non-Croatian in the company. Of these immigrant fishermen, John Mavar would become the most successful. (The Daily Herald, September 18, 1920, p. 4)
The Biloxi Trading and Packing Company was capitalized with $25,000 in stock with a par value of $1. Its mission was to ‘own, operate, lease factories and canneries and package vegetables, fruits, oysters, fish and shrimp.(The Daily Herald, September 18, 1920, p. 4)
The Biloxi Trading and Packing Company was located on Biloxi’s Point Cadet.

The company evolved from the The Biloxi Packing & Trading Company which had been incorporated on September 20, 1920 at New Orleans. From the deed records of Harrison County, Mississippi, it appears that the Anticich family took control of the Biloxi Trading & Packing Company between August 1924 and August 1925 and began operating as the Anticich Canning and Packing Company.(Harrison Co., Mississippi Chattel Deed Bk. 53, p. 571).(Harrison County, Ms. Charter Copy Book 6, p. 487)
