The worst, most disastrous season since 1921 has
ended.
Alaska salmon packers processed less salmon this
year than they have in 32 years. Nothing can be done
to wipe out the losses suffered.
Right now, through salesmanship, advertising and
cooperative publicity campaigns, the industry is
attempting to sell its product in the markets of the
nation. In the last analysis, the housewife will make the
all-important decision—whether she prefers to buy
Alaska canned salmon, or a competing fish, meat or
poultry product.
The industry s less will be felt by everyone in
Alaska because the success or failure of a season is
reflected in the ability to pay wages and taxes. If the
salmon jpdustry is to continue to be an important part
of Alaska’s economy, everything possible must be done
to make its product competitive through lower operating
costs. This requires the cooperation of everyone.
The story of the salmon industry—the catching, processing
and selling—is told in a colorful 16-page booklet, "Alaska’s
Salmon Industry.” In addition to information about
the industry, there are many delicious salmon recipes
for the housewife. Write for your copy today. At the
same time send your friends outside "Welcome to
Alaska.” Mail your requests to the Alaska Salmon
Institute, Box 893, Ketchikan.
