As any boat owner knows, the mere care and maintenance of any sea-going craft is going to keep both the owner and the boat builders busy every time the boat Is not actually at work. The fishing fleet out of Vancouver and other B.C. ports supports hundreds of marine operatives. Fishing is not just a fine weather occupation, and rough weather demands Sturdy craft and perfectly operating engines and equipment. Nets must be readied for service, mended, treated and replaced. , . ; The canneries, cold storage plants, reduction plants, hydro-electric or other power supply plants employ hundreds of trained personnel who never1 catch a fish. The sale of the fine canned fish produced in B.C. again employs hundreds of experts in their field . f both at home and abroad. The days when the B C salmon pack was completed when It stood In a Wharf warehouse In bright tin are long past. Today the successful canner takes responsibility for his distribution along two lines. First, he arranges his allocation in a geographical sense . . . then he looks at the calendar. If the ultimate consumer is going to be taught to ask for a brand by name, the canner has to make sure that It will be available In June as well as December, In August as well as March. As soon as he thinks of a brand, his need for labels and cartons brings other great Canadian Industries Into the picture . . . also on a year-round basis. Yes . . . the business of successfully marketing a fine product like B.C. Salmon brings into the picture many thousands who riraw good ' wages for being credited with an "assist" in the game of harvesting the crop of the sea. The list of allied industries reads like a trade directory and includes boat builders, suppliers, can makers, wooden box makers, labellers, machinists, marine engine builders, net makers, lithographers, flbrebox makers, warehouses, every type of transportation company, wholesalers and retailers . . . and . . every type of advertising medium. They will all continue to profit from the salmon canning industry Just so long as the quality of the product will continue to Impel the housewife to Ray, "Another can of Paramount (for Instance) please!"
