Summary
Wing Nien Soy Bean Company, founded in San Francisco Chinatown during WWII, was the first manufacturer of soy sauce in the U.S. Brothers-in-law George Hall and John C. Young, the company's founders, realized their dreams of success, and participated in Chinatown's growth. Succeeding generations of Halls have grown Wing Nien into the company now known as Wing Nien Foods. Authors Connie Young Yu and Effie Hall Dilworth, daughters of John Young and George Hall, respectively, drew from family archives, oral history and personal experiences in writing this unique story.
