! Freeze And Ship
Halibut To States
I _
SEWARD, </P)—In a first such
1 cargo flight which may lead to
monthly shipments, 18,500 pounds
f halibut steaks were flown from
Anchorage to Great Falls, Mont.,
last week. They were shipped to
Anchorage by train.
William Pege, general manager
of the Seward Fish and Cold Stor
j age company, accompanied the
shipment on an Alaska Airlines
cargo plane.
“We bought the halibut from
halibuters which formerly had to
1 ake the fish to Seattle to sell it,”
Pege said. “We froze it, cut it up
and packaged it in one-pound car
tons similar to those used for all
frr?en foods.”
Four former Anchorage men are
associated with him in the venture.
