I CORDOVA HAS FIRST CHANCE I
- »*.*_e. . . . i
Inquiries from the States have been received by the Hinchinbrook Packing
ompany regarding its stock, and we have decided to shorten the time during ^
' which the stock will be for sale in Cordova.
Mr Ohm at present is arrangiing for the balance of piling needed for driving '
tbe eight traps and clearing the cannery site „n Hinchinbrook island. The company
• now is employing twenty two men in this work.
I pon the return of Mr. Ohm to Cordova the first of next wee k fir. Swanberg ;
and he will attempt to see personally everyone in the citv who wishes to be given -
details concerning the company. * U
f
OPPORTUNITY OPEN TO ALL
It. all the stock can be placed in Cordova none will be offered in the States. £■
1,111 if the people of this city who understand the opportunity which is given them f
do not take all the stock Mr. Ohm and Mr. Swanberg will leave for the States ;is
>"on us t,"‘ necessary preliminaary work of driving the traps and erecting t'he build
ings is completed.
Never in the history of the industry has the outlook for a ready market of
canned salmon been so promising. During the war the armies of Europe were F
: iven American canned salmon as rations, which has served to introduce this food j
to manay peoples who never before had heard of or eaten this food. Taken in con
junction with the fact that the people of Europe for the next twelve months will de
pend upon the United States as, never before for food supplies, makes certain a j
icndy sale for all the salmon that can be packed in Alaska for several vears to
conic.
SALMON MARKET CERTAIN
Nothin gis surer than tliat salmon will command a high price. Nothing is safer
than an investment in a good cannery; and no other legitimate industry can otter ■
such large returns as may be gained from an investment in a salmon cannery.
Your opportunity to get in on the gro mid floor of Alaska’s (greatest industry
now is here. The Hinchinbrook Packing Company has the most promising future f
ot any cannery in Alaska, and to delay now will mean that you arc missing one of !
the greatest chances of your life.
Don’t Delay

MR. V. J. SWANBERG is at the Windsor Hotel, Room 9, and will be glad to
give you full information regarding the cannery. Call personally or by telephone
or drop him a letter. .
