Canned Salmon Holds
 Market Difficulty

The fact that the period of greatest consumption of Canned Salmon comes at the same time of year as the peak production in the very seasonal industry makes it's marketing and financing problems almost unique in their difficulty, declares B. c. Oldfin, of the Pacific National Bank in Seattle, and for merly claim agent for the Alaska Railroad. Mir. Olfin is well known both on the Coast and in the in terior of Alaska.
 A recent three year study of the sales of Canned Salmon by a large chain grocery organization in the United States reveals that the heaviest retail sales of this prod uct are made during the months of July, August and September, before the new pack has reached the con- sumer market The second highest sales period is during the months of April, May and June, falling al the end of the pack year. The period of lightest consumer pur- chases is the last three months of the year, or directly following the arrival of the new pack in the na- tion's grocery stores,' Oldfin said.
 "The salmon industry has ire quently been compared to an agri- cultural activity and the salmon referred to as the Silver Harvest of the Sea. In a certain sense this comparison is justified, but there is no farm crop that l know of which is held from nine months to a year before the major part of the harvest is consumed That this is necessary in the marketing of Can ned Salmon introduces into this business a very difficult and eX- pensive problem of financing and merchandising. The packer must make a very large investment at the time the product is put into cans, and must pay high trans portation and warehousing costs. holding a large part of the pack for several months before getting any return on his investment.
