 A single wheel track led the body to the gravelled road about 150 feet away.

Canned Salmon Campaign Given
 New Extension
Use of Great Product in
 New Circles Given Publicity

Promotion of the use of canned salmon in restaurants, hotels, hos pitals. and similar institutions IS being undertaken by the Canned Salmon Industry advertising head : quarters as a follow up on the na- tional campaign to increase use of this product by housewives. accord ing to Arthur P. Wolf, of Hood Bay canning Company, and member of the industry advertising committee.
 Canned salmon, because of it's very low cost per serving is an ideal food for restaurant and in stitution use" Wolf said Tt also is particularly attractive to dieti- tians of institutions that are es- pecially interested in dietetic values of foods they serve. We believe that these groups offer a very valu- able market for Alaska's salmon pack, a market that up to now has not been fully developed.
 "The 1887 advertising campaign on canned salmon includes cover age in these special groups. We will advertise the attractions of salmon, and it's superiority to many ether main dish foods in American Restaurant, the leading magazine going to restaurant managers and chefs. this year In addition to this advertising, the direct mail work to promote salmon consumption in hospitals and similar institutions will continue. This direct mail campaign was started early last fall, with the mailing out of quan-
 tity recipes for canned salmon. These recipes were very well re- ceived, and we have had hundrds of requests for additional material of this sort.
 During the past year, the Can ned Salmon Industry did some work
 with drug store lunch counters in . Di tAAC AA1S OA peAliAO4A AC- sandwiches at these counters, ''
 Wolf said This work will be in- creased during 1887. We expect to have 5000 drug stores displaying special sandwich and salad window banners and featuring canned sal mon during canned salmon week. One of the publications carrying the salmon advertising which dis
 tributes a large part of its circu- lation through sales in these stores has arranged for the use of these posters for us.
 While housewives will always be the most important salmon GUS toners, the industry believes that great deal can be done to in- crease sales of the product and so contribute to greater prosperity in the Territory by promoting the use of canned salmon by these restaurants and institutions"
