Spokane eR gm Nearly Half of Salmon Supply Bought Up by the Packers’ Combine * BY MILTON BRONNER WASHINGTON, D. ©. Nov, 15 Sometimes people think they will beat the big meat packers by cut ting out the meat, poultry, eggs and cheese, and eating fish. But if they eat canned fish, the chances are they will find the big meat packers have beaten them to it. This is especially true of salmon, which ts ‘n important food product because of its high proportion of protein and tat Most salmon canners maintain no sales departments, do little or no ad. vertising and dispose of the bulk of the pack thru brokers or selling agents Such a system makes it easy for large distributers like the me packers to acquire the can ntire output. The meat pack ers thus out off wholesale grocers Many cases from any sources of supply Distribute Shell Fish In addition to salmon, packers also purch: canned tuna, fines, herring and us forms of tinned shrimps, haddies, oysters clams and crabs. Some of them have also gone in for the sale of salt, spiced, smoked and dried fish. One subsidiary of one of the big the meat and distribute car packers alone in 1918 sold nearly! 10 per cent of the entire salmon |pack of the world. Only two of the big meat packers /HANDLEY-PAGE BOMBER IS LAID UP FOR REPAIRS CLEVELAND, ©., Nov. 11.—The giant Handley-Page bomber which left New York last Friday for a non: stop flight to Chicago, will be laid up in Cleveland for repairs for two weeks, it was estimated today.

Letters Prove Figures | From the point of view of the broker or the fish canner the bis meat packers are considered mont desirable customers because they buy goods In enormous quantities The meat packers thus secure an enormous supply. They do more They stop tn between the whole wale grocers and the latter's former source of supply, This, of course,| |tends to cut out the wholesale| [grocers as competitors in the bust ness of selling canned fish Letters La Fi jon indicated that 10,000,000 anne | cases of salmon were packed on the!
