P. E. Harris & Co., selling agents
for the Pinnacle Rock Packing Com

arrival of two shipments of new-pack
minced clams, which, on examination,
were found to be fully up to the usual
high standard of the Pinnacle Rock
Company. The company anticipates
a pack of 15,000 case, all of which
should arrive in Seattle before the
end of July. Prices for the pack have
not been decided on, as the cost of
production is still uncertain, but
figures will probably be put out about
the middle of June. All clams this
year will be shipped down unlabeled
in order to take care of the private
brands of various wholesale grocers.

it will be ready to handle all cannery
offal in the vicinity by the time the
heavy run of fish starts. The plant
