CANNING 



CHANGES IN CANNERIES 



A new organization, the Scow Bay Packing Co., operated the plant 

 at Scow Bay that had been leased by Hanseth Bros, in 1933. The 

 cannery at Hoonah formerly belonging to the Hoonah Packing Co. 

 was purchased and operated in 1934 by the recently incorporated Icy 

 Straits Salmon Co. The Red Salmon Packers Association bought 

 back the floating plant Retriever, which it had sold in 1930 to the 

 New England Fish Co., and operated it in the Yakutat district. 

 A new up-to-date 5-line cannery built by Libby, McNeill & Libby at 

 Taku to replace the plant lost by fire in 1932 was in opei'ation during 

 the season. The New England Fish Co. and the Pacific American 

 Fisheries reopened their canneries at Chatham and Excursion Inlet, 

 respectively, w4iicli had been idle since 1931. 



In central Alaska the operations of A. S. Day at Fort Liscum were 

 carried on under the name of North Pacific Sea Foods. The Washing- 

 ton Fish & Oyster Co. leased and operated the cannery of Port 

 Williams Packing Co. at Port Williams which had been closed since
