CANNERY CHIEF IN JUNEAU HAS NO SITKA PLANS laurence Freeburn Has Nothing Definite on Can- nery Operation for Year | Laurence Freeburn, General Man- ager of Pyramid Packing mepém\': of Sitka is a stopover traveler in| Juneau from Seattle enroute to his packing plant at the old Capitol City. The Pyramid Packing Co., did not operate last year and according to Mr. Freeburn it is not known wheth- er it will operate this year. Outlook for the 939 caning season is not very bright, the cannery ex- ecutive said. “Although stocks of canned sal- mon on the market have been de- pleted, this has been done by a pro- gram of bargain prices which run on the average of 95 cents. This price returns no profit to the operators”, he de d. Claiming that salmon must bring around $1.15 per case to bring a fin- ancial return, Mr. Freeburn is of the gpimion that present prices do not justify expanded operation of canneries #An arrival on the North Coast Mr Preeburn plans to leave for Sitka within a few days.
