IN GANNING INDUSTRY
Adequate transportation is
highly important to the devel
opment of the salmon canning
industry it is said in an article
in the U. S. Daily • of Washing
ton, D. C., quoting from the
Merchant Marine Bulletin. Sail
ing ships have practically pass
ed and in 1929 there were 9 reg
istered steamships and 364 large
motor vessels engaged in trans
portation and 333 registered
motor vessels in the fishing ot
salmon.
The American salmon canning
industry was born on the Sacra
mento River in California in ;
1864. The first cannery in Alas- |
ka was built in 1878. and in the j
last 15 years Alaska has grown ;
to be by far the most important \
section in the business.
In addition to the registered;
vessels above noted there were
382 launches, 1,302 gill net
boats. 740 lighters and scows,!
135 pile drivers, and a consid-'
erable number of power dor
ies, seine skiffs, other skiffs,
house boats, rigging scows, etc.
Out of the 24,271 people en
gaged in the industry in Alaska
alone, 1,679 were busy as trans
porters, 7.121 as fishermen and
15,471 as shoresmen, that is,
people working in and about
the canneries. Taking in all the
salmon canning operations in
Alaska as well as the Pacific
Coast states, it is estimated
that there are 40,000 persons
engaged. The salmon canning
industry is the most valuable
single fishing industry in the
world; its product having an
average annual valuation of $55,
000,000 to $65,000,000 as laid
down at the docks of the Pacific j
Coast ports. Canned salmon is
the great staple preserved fish
of the world and the only one
available in nearly every place
whether it be the tropics or the
polar regions.

"QUALITY IS EVERYTHING"
Says
John Hertz
Chairman of the Board
Omnibus Corp. of America
Owners of ail the busses in New York
and Chicago; Founder of the Yellow
Cab Co. Director Forman-State Na
tional Bank, Chicago.
"A champion race horse or a
leader in industry, I have found,
is seldom a residt of chance.
Concentration upon quality—
that's what counts. When I read
the personal reports ofyourdis
tinguished visitors, revealing
your use of the Ultra Violet
Ray in the 'Toasting* of the
LUCKY STRIKE tobaccos, I
knew that you were on the right
track. Quality is everything—
and the American people de
mand and appreciate the best.”
LUCKY STRIKE—the finest cigarette you
ever smoked, made of the finest tobaccos
— the Cream of the Crop—THEN—"IT’S
TOASTED/7 Everyone knows that heat puri
fies and so TOASTING removes harmful
irritants that cause throat irritation and
coughing. No wonder 20,679 physicians
have stated LUCKIES to be less irritating!
Everyone knows that sunshine mellows—
that’s why TOASTING includes the use of
the Ultra Violet Ray.
“It’s toasted”
Ycur Throat Protection — against irritation — against cough
Consistent with its policy of laying the facts before the public, The American Tobacco Company has invited Mr. John
Hertz to review the reports of the distinguished men who have witnessed LUCKY STRIKE'S famous Toasting Process.
The statement of Mr. Hertz appears on this page.
