Effect of Advertising on Sales
of Canned Salmon is Reported
That national advertising of
canned salmon is enabling the
salmon industry to sell a larger
proportion of the supply of sal
mon is demonstrated in a report
just submitted to the advertising
committee of the Canned Salmon
Industry by J. Walter Thompson
Company.
The report covers the 5 years
during which the industry has
<been carrying on its advertising
program. The first phase of the
report compares the sales per
formance during the first four
years of advertising, 1935-1939
with the average for the ten
years prior to the start of the
advertising campaign.
The second phase of the re
port deals separately with the
last pack selling season, the year
1939-40. This sales year is consid
ered separately because the short
pack during 1939 presented the
industry with conditions varying
greatly from the average of the
preceeding years.
The report covers the 5 years
of advertising in some detail,
discussing the cooperation secur
ed from other advertisers, the
growing interest of national mag
azine and newspaper editors in
salmon, and reportig on the atti
tude of retail merchants toward
the salmon advertising and mer
chandising assistance.

BUILDING UP THE MARKET for Alaska’s No. 1
product is mighty important to all people in Alaska. And
again this year, the Industry is out to sell America on
Canned Salmon and keep it sold! Intensive advertising in
the States is teaching housewives the nutritive values
and economy of Canned Salmon. Millions of magazine
ads . . . recipes on the food pages of newspapers—are
telling women how to serve more Canned Salmon in
delicious new ways. The cooperation of grocers, too, has
been enlisted to push Canned Salmon sales in their stores.
All over the U. S. the forces of advertising, publicity,
and promotion are at work building a more stable market
for Alaska’s major food product. A market that will mean
protected prosperity for every Alaska family.
FAIR NOTES
Last call folks—Nome's Seven
th Annual Fair opens its doors to
the public at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow
afternoon. Get your entries and
exhibits over to the Fair build
ing before the doors open.
In order to assist those who
are unable to get over to the
Fair building during the day, the
building will be kept open to
1 night until 10:30 p.m.
All division superintendents
are requested to drop over to
the Fair building this evening to
complete final arrangements as
to their respective departments.
Due to the recent illness of Mrs
Ole Hay, Mrs. Edna Fix has tak
en over the department of house
hold economics and will be in
change of this exhibit during the
Fair.
We are given to understand
that the entertainment features
of this year’s Fair are really
something, fhe amateur movies
are bigger and better than ever.
Nome's High School Band, which
has become a real band under
the able direction of bandmaster
Bernie Knudsen, will play for us
each night of the Faid. The big
stage show of Saturday night’s
program, consisting of around 15
acts, features the greatest col
lection of acting talent assembled
on any Nome stage for many
years.
The Queen Contest continues
apace—and what a pace. The lit
tle gals, not being conversant
with Freud’s theory of inhibition
step around right merrily pluck
ing votes here, there and every
where, subsidizing strong men
with a limpid glance and angelic
smile—which we submit, is am
ple recompense.
Once again let us remind you
please get your exihibits over to
the Fair building as early as pos
sible—and if you require the as
sistance of a car, telephone the
, Fair building.
