Continuous Ad
vertising Salmon
Necessary for Sale
Continuous advertising of can
ned salmon is needed to meet the
growing competition of other pro
tien foo. Norton W. Mogge,
Northwest manager of J. Walter
.Thompson Company, advertising
agency for the Canned Salmon
Industry to'.d salmon pack rs and
sales agents at the recent Asso
ciation of Pacific Fisheries con
vention at Spokane.
After describing the nutritive
values of canned salmon which
are highlighted in salmon adver
tising, Mogge pointed out that j
canned salmon faced strong com
petition for the consumer's at-1
lention from other protein foods
i such as meat, poultry, game, fish,
; eggs, milk and cheese.
"It is a fair question to ask
whether peopl? are eating
^enough canned salmon,” Mogge
said. "None of us who are in
touch with consumption figures
are satisfied as yet. The govern
ment suggests that families eat
on? pound of canned fish per
week along with other protein
foods. An anlysis of Department
of Commerce figures shows that
American families on the aver
age are only eating about one
can of salmon ev^ry six weeks.
This shows a market opportun
ity that requires continuous ag
gressive advertising.”
Discussing the steps that are
being taken to increase the con
sumption of competing prqtein
foods, Mogge told the salmon in
dustry that over six million dol
lars was spent last year in ad
vertising milk, butter, and cheese;
to U. S. housewives.
"You have real competition in
the protein field, and it is back
ed by substantial advertising in
vestments,” he declared. “Four
meat packers spent $3,250,000 ad
vertising meats last year. Three
tuna packers spent a total of
$284,000 in 1939. The Meat Insti
tut? is now started on a cam
paign that will cost two million
dollars a year in advertising.
Alaska Mine
C o n t e n {i o n
Is Overruled
WASHINGTON, Nov. — The
U. S. Supreme Court overruled
the contention of the gold mining
company of J. E. Riley Invest
ment Company, at Flat, Alaska,
that it should be granted a de
piction allowance in its 1934 fed
eral income tax return on the
grounds it was not notified in
time of the change in law.
Justice Wm. O. Douglas deliv
r^d the decision. The no dissent
announced by Justice Douglas
said if the investment company's
view was adopted “taxpayers
with the benefit . of hindsight
could shift from one basis of de
pietion to another in the light of
developments subsequent to
their original choice.”
Claim Made Late
The company said, because it
took two weeks to receive mail
from the commissioner of inter
nal revenue at Tacoma it had
made out tax return on old forms
to avoid delinquency. It was also
said the collector had not noti
fied the company of the law
change to permit deduction of
percentage for depletion, to al
low for exhaustion, wear, tear
and obselence of its property,
and had claimed $13,600 allow
i ance.
The government fully contend
ed before the Ninth Federal
Circuit Court that the company
was not entitled to such allow
ance because such claim was not
made on its first return.
