CANNED SALMON FOR
SUMMER CONSUMPTION
■ ■— ~ '
The salmon industry’s big sum
mer drive to promote the use of
canned salmon for summer meals
started on May 5th with the pub
lication of a large advertisement
in the Woman's Home Compan
ion appearing on that date. Dur
ing May menu and recipe sug
gestions for canned salmon
meals will appear in salmon in
dustry advertisements :n Ladies’
Home Journal and McCall’s mag
azine as well.
In the month of May, these
messages will go into approxi- j
mately nine million homes, the
salmon industry advertising of
fice announces.
“While stocks of salmon re-1
maining in packers' hands at this,
time are quite low, distributors
throughout the country have fair
ly large supplies on> hand,” the;
advertising office reports. “The (
purpose of the summer selling;
drive is to keep Alaska’s canned
salmon moving into consumption
at a good rate so that distribut
ors will be ready for the new!
pack if the summer’s packing op-1
eratians are carried through."
During June, warm weather
salmon suggestions will be car
ried in Good Housekeeping mag
azine, American Home, and Bet
ter Homes and Gardens. These
three magazines will carry the
salmon advertisement to about
five and a half miLlion house
wives.
In addition to the advertising
to the consumers, the advertising
committee of the industry is
planning to supply attractive
posters to assist the country’s
retail store in selling more sal
mon to consumers. The recent re
tail display contest sponsored by
the industry has aroused the in
I terest of the retail trade in sal
mon, and it is expected that gro
cers will gladly feature this pop
ular warm weather food during
the summer months in coopera
tion wdth the salmon packing in
, dustry.
