CANNING INDUSTRY, 1864 TO 1919. 
SUMMARY OF CANNING INDUSTRY. 
From the beginning of the canning of salmon on this coast it has 
been the most important branch of the industry, and the following 
table shows in condensed form the number of cases packed in each 
year on the Pacific coast of North America from the beginning of the 
industry in 1864 to 1919, both inclusive. 
As British Columbia is a Province of the Dominion of Canada it 
does not come strictly within the scope of this report, but 1m order to 
show the pack of canned salmon on the North American shores of 
the Pacifie Ocean, which would be incomplete without that of the 
Province, it has been included also.
