My photo does not give the real print justice, but a Shirley Pike painted this street scene from Newport Beach, CA. Under the canopy of the white building on the left, Balboa Inn, is a sidewalk sign advertising Jaco's Cantina.
Shirley (Mrs. Carl Richard) Jaco of Modesto, CA purchased the print years ago, but only in 1999 did she discover the Jaco sign. They are in the "John W." line.

Yum, Yum...
On 5 Sep 95 Arnold Jaco of St. Louis inquired about the name Jaco being in the bread title. He received a reply from John B. Garacochea of Pioneer French Bakery, Venice, CA: "The word Jaco is Basque for Jack. My family immigrated from the village of Les Aldudes in the French Pyrenees. When my father Jack was born, my Great Grandfather decided to bestow him the grand honor of naming a loaf of bread "Jaco"! Not much of a story but we get a kick out of it." 2/11/03

Treasure Island...
No, that is not correct. It is Jaco Island! In the Pacific, unoccupied, at the outer bounds of Timor. A former governor of Timor wrote me that it came into existence due to a hurricane separating it from the main island. It received it's name (in Portuguese) for "broken beak", since it broke away from the primary land mass.

"Mr. Peter Jaco Age 48"
"I was born of serious parents, at Newlyn, near Penzance, in Cornwall, in the year 1729. When capable of learning, I was put to school, where I continued till I was near fourteen; but, being of a gay, lively disposition, and my master being given to drink to excess, (on which account I soon learned to despise both him and his instructions,) did not make that proficiency which I otherwise might have done. As I could not endure the school under such a teacher, my father took me home, and proposed several businesses to me; but I chose rather to be under his care, and to be employed with him in the pilchard-fishery: first, because I knew him to be a perfect master of his business; and, secondly, because I knew he was a truly serious man..." 2/11/03
