A repeat of last year’s record ‘pack of nearly eight and a half million cases is not expected, al- though if a heavy run occurs rapid ccmmunication and transportation will enable canners to take care of (it in most cases, suppliers say. | In addition to the many opera- tors who are going, or have already left, on the regularly scheduled steamship sailings, many have gone on company vessels, Back for Operators Among those who have recently left Puget Sound ports for Alaska, !together with the points where they will operate, are: For Ketchikan: L.
