The banner year in the canning industry was 1884, when 620,000 
cases of chinook salmon were marketed. At this time the runs were 
so enormous that tons and tons of salmon were thrown overboard 
by the fishermen because the canneries were unable to handle them. 
As in other sections there came a time when the market began to 
be glutted by the packs of the numerous canneries, and it was found 
necessary to combine some of the plants in order to operate more 
cheaply and also to reduce the output. 
In 1885 W. H. Barker and George H. George, who had been con- 
nected with various canneries, formed a partnership as George & 
Barker and purchased the Astoria cannery of the Port Adams Packing 
Co., then 2 years old. 
Shortly before this a combination which was named the Eureka 
& Epicure Packing Co., had been formed and comprised the following 
plants: Knappton Packing Co., Knappton; North Shore Packing 
Co., -just below Knappton; and the Eureka Packing Co. This 
combination got into financial difficulties and the reorganizers per- 
suaded George & Barker to join the combination and take charge, 
which they did. . 
In 1897 the Eureka & Epicure Packing Co., the plants ot Samuel 
Elmore, M. J. Kinney and J. W. Seaborg, ail at Astoria; J. O. Han- 
thorn & Co., Astoria; Fishermen’s Packing Co., Astoria; Scandinavian
