SALMON CANNING 



CHANGES IN CANNERIES 



Several changes in the ownership and control of canneries oc- 

 curred in 1923, while other plants were dismantled and will there- 

 fore be dropped from the list of salmon canneries. 



The Alaska Consolidated Canneries acquired the Pybus Bay can- 

 nery of the Admiralty Packing Co., thus giving it a total of seven 

 canneries in southeast Alaska. The A. & P. Products Corporation 

 continued its lease of the Ford Arm cannery of the Deep Sea Salmon 

 Co. and the Heceta Island plant of Swift-Arthur-Crosby Co. It 

 purchased the Union Bay cannery of G. W. Hume Co. early in the 

 year, and at the close of the year it added to its holdings in southeast 

 Alaska by the purchase of the Waterfall cannery of the Alaska Fish 

 Co. The Pavlof Harbor Packing Co.'s plant at Pavlof Harbor was 

 operated by Carlson Bros. (Inc.). The J. D. Koop Co., at Tenakee, 

 became the Superior Fisheries Co. The Petersburg Packing Co. 

 resumed operation of its plant at Petersburg, superseding the Mitkof 

 Island Packing Co., which Avas organized as an operating company 

 for the original owners pending the settlement of bankruptcy pro- 

 ceedings. The plant of the Hood Bay Packing Co. at Hood Bay 

 was converted into a fish-oil and meal factory and herring saltery 

 and was operated by the Hamilton Packing Co. 



The Ketchikan Packing Co. and the Kevilla Packing Co., both 

 at Ketchikan, are defunct, and their plants have been dismantled 

 and put to other uses. The Northern Packing Co., at Juneau, is 

 likewise permanently out of business and the buildings are for sale. 

 The Alaska Union Fisheries (Inc.), at Port Conclusion; the Todd 

 Packing Co., at Todd; the Cape Fanshaw Fish & Packing Co. and 

 the American Packing Co., at Juneau; and E. R. Strand, on 

 Wrangell Narrows, are permanently out of the salmon-canning busi- 

 ness. The Fanshaw cannery of the Marathon Fishing <!i; Packing 

 Co. was advertised for sale to satisfy the creditors of the company.
