EVERY FAMILY IN ALASKA is supported wholly or in part by money
the Canned Salmon Industry brings here. It pays the wages of over
11,000 local workers and fishermen. Its purchases of coal, lumber, wire,
many Alaska products help other industries to meet their payrolls. Its
territorial tax payments help to provide salaries for Alaska’s school
teachers and government officials. In other words, the Canned Salmon
Industry is actually the TerritoiVs biggest pay master.
