These shining tins of canned salmon will never be
placed on the grocer’s shelf. Yet, this canned salmon
plays an important part in selling the yearly pack of
Alaska salmon in the world’s market places.
This sprfng, the salmon industry—as if has since
. 1933—carefully examines samples of the previous year’s
pack with an eye to improving future salmon packs.'
Hundreds of cans of Alaska salmon are selected at
random, their labels removed and this important food
product carefully judged by experienced examiners.1
Canners learn how to improve their packs from
suggestions made at this "Annual Salmon Cutting,” j
sponsored by the Northwest Branch of the National
i
.
Canners Association. The desire to improve the Alaska
'salmon pack is more important this year than ever
before because salmon must be sold on an increasingly
competitive market.
Besides the "Annual Salmon Cuttings,” the in
dustry carefully inspects each year’s salmon catch at
| various stages of processing to be certain that high^
standards of quality are maintained.
For the complete story of Alaska’s most impor
tant industry, write today for your copy of the color
ful booklet, “Alaska’s Salmon Industry.” Address
requests to Box 893, Ketchikan.
