The West Coast Fisheries, Volume 1, Number 15, August 1929 Item Type monograph Publisher M.W.

Canco's log records the markings of many new sales channels for the fish you catch-the charting of better trade routes. Years of creative research by our crew of technical men have led to the great development of metal fish packages-of unique closing machines. These have made it possible to market a better product than was ever packed in the past. The sardine industry-the tuna industry-and the salmon in­ dustry-together with others vitally concerned with the packing and marketing of fish-will find unusual food for thought by getting the up-to-date facts from Canco.
