ALMON was first successfully canned on the Sacramento River in California
I in 1864 and the first canner introduced his product by peddling it from door
to door. Today GO.8% of the families of the United States use canned
salmon and consume annually 14.4 pounds per family or one and three
salmon and consume annually 14.4 pounds per family or one
quarters pounds of salmon for every man, woman and child in the nation.
;■/ . ifW'i4
Exhaustive tests have been made to determine the food value of this product as
compared with other commonly used, foods, witl\ the result that it was found that the
average pound can of salmon contains more -calories than does a pound of sirloin
steals, eggs, baked beans, boiled rice, chicken or mashed potato, and nearly three
times as much nutriment as a pound of whtsle milk.
Tke market for Alaska’s salmon has been developed at great expenditure of both
money and effort and has only recently attained the stability which assures a ready
sale for the pack. _ c > * y~. "•
To build this market it was necessary to educate the nation as to the food value of
the product and the numerous delightful dishes which might be prepared from it.
It was also essential that the public be assured of the wholesome nature of the
product and to this end the c&nnerymcn have maintained an extensive inspection
system and laboratory under the supervision of the National Canners Association to
insure a sanitary pack and proper living conditions for employees. Desiring t<v
further safeguard the industry and the public' they offered to assume an estimated
annual expense of $80,40tl(l0.u<! turn this inspection work over to government
agencies. This has not yet been accomplished but something may bo worked out to
enable the can of salmon to carry the stamp of government inspection and approval.
Today the Alaska canned salmon is universally recognised c.s a wholesome, nutritious
and desirable food and the market readily absorbs every can that is packed. This
market represents the results of years of effort and an enormous investment and
should be guarded as a valuable asset of Alaska.

Without a market'both fish and cannery become value lest.
