THE CANNING INDUSTRY. 



The canning industry of Maine still is very important, though the 

 number of canneries in operation in 1905 was only 46, against 75 in 

 1902. Of these establishments 33 were engaged in canning sardines, 

 18 in canning clams, and 1 each in canning herring, mackerel, and 

 cod, some canneries handling two or more products. Most of the 

 sardine canneries are in Washington County. Of the remainder 5 

 are in Hancock County, 3 in Lincoln County, and 1 in Knox County.
