CANNING 
CHANGES IN CANNERIES 
Few changes in business organization and operations were reported 
for 1938 in the Alaska salmon-canning industry. In southeast Alaska 
the plant of the Demmert Packing Co. at Klawak, which had been 
idle in the previous year, was taken over and operated by a new con- 
cern, the Spencer Packing Corp. The plant of the Nakat Packing 
Corp. at Hidden Inlet was again in operation, having been rebuilt 
since its destruction by fire in the spring of 1937. 
In central Alaska the San Juan Fishing & Packing Co. purchased 
the Drier Bay cannery from the Alaska Pacific Salmon Co. and dis- 
mantled it during the season. The cannery of Herbert T. Domenici 
at Uyak, which was idle in 1937, was taken over and operated by a new 
organization, the Great Northern Packing Co., Inc. The Shepard 
Point Packing Co. used its plant at Port Ashton both for salmon can- 
ning and for herring operations, but did not operate the cannery at 
Shepard Point. The Kadiak Fisheries Co. completed construction of 
its new modern cannery at Port Bailey, about 40 miles northwest of 
Kodiak, in time for operation in the 1938 season. This plant was built 
to replace the company’s cannery at Kodiak. The Anchor Line 
Packing Co., formerly operating a floating plant at Seldovia, estab- 
lished and operated a small shore cannery on Kenai River. 
At the beginning of the year the Bristol Bay Packing Co. was 
merged into the Alaska Salmon Co., which operated only the Kvichak 
River plant during the season. The company’s Wood River cannery 
was used as a saltery, and the second Kvichak River plant, to replace 
buildings of the Bristol Bay Packing Co. destroyed by fire in 1936,
