ORGANIZATION OF THE
ALASKA CONSOLIDATED
CANNERIES. INC.
Group of Canneries Acquired by New
Corporation Make it Largest
Producer of Pink Salmon.
(Taken from Pacific Fisherman,
June, 1925.)
Organization has just been com
pleted of the Alaska Consolidated
Canneries, Inc., which takes over
complete ownership of the salmon
cannery properties formerly operated
under lease by the Alaska Consoli
dated Canneries of Seattle. The
group of canneries involved in the
deal is one of the largest in South
east Alaska, with an established po
sition as the largest producer of
Ping salmon on the Coast; the total
output of all grades in 1924 being
431,748 cases. The new concern, as
previously announced, has been in
corporated under the laws of Dela
ware, with a capital stock of $2,
000,000, fully paid up. The corpora
tion has no bonds outstanding, and
is doing no public financing. The
business headquarters will remai l
in Seattle, which is the residence of
the principal stockholders.
No change in management is in
volved in the transfer; the new cor
poration, headed by C. A. Burck
hardt, having taken over the entire
business and operating organization
of the former Alaska Consolidated
Canneries as well as the physical
properties. The other officers are.
G. L. Wakeman, vice-president; H.
V. Alward, treasurer; J. C. Allison,
secretary; with John H. Burgard as
the other director. Messrs Wakeman
and Alward are joint managers of
the Seattle branch of the Bank of
California; Mr. Allison has for some
time been secretary of the Alaska
Pacific Fisheries; and Mr. Burgard
is well known as an insurance man
of Portland, Ore., chairman of the
Portland Dock Commission, and the
treasurer of the Alaska Pacific Fish
eries.
Properties Taken Over
The properties acquired include
the active canneries of the Alaska
Pacific Fisheries at Yes Bay, Cham
ly and Pybus Bay, with a total of
eleven lines of machinery; those
formerly owned by the Southern
Alaska Canning Company at Quadra
and Rose Inlet, with five lines; and
the three-line cannery at Tenakeo,
formerly owned by the Columbia
Salmon Company; together with all
traps and trap locations, cannery
sites, floating equipment, fishing
gear, etc., formerly operated by
those companies. Among these are
the site of the former Alaska Pa
cific Fisheries Company at Tee Har
bor, burned last year, whose opera
tions have been consolidated with
the Tenakee plant; the Saginaw Bay
site formerly owned by the Southern
Alaska Canning Company, now be
ing operated as a herring saltery
and oil and meal plant, with two
Stanley Hiller reduction units trans
ferred from the Yes Bay and Chandy
canneries; some boats and the dis
mantled cannery site formerly ownen
by the Marathon Fishing & Packing
Company at Cape Fanshaw; a well
equipped central trap-operating sta
tion recently installed on McLean
Arm near Cape Chacon; and a large
can-end making plant at Seattle, to
gether with office equipment, etc., in
that city. Included in the fishing
and floating equipment are nearly
50 traps in actual operation, 44 ten
ders and purse-seine boats, 63 scows
and 10 pile drivers.
History of the Merger.
The Alaska Pacific Fisheries, with
C. A. Burckhardt as president, has
for many years been a prominent
factor in the salmon industry of
Southeast Alaska, operating a good
sized group of canneries. Early »n
1922 a leasing company was formed
by the Bank of California and the
Alaska Pacific Fisheries, known as
the Alaska Consolidated Canneries
and incorporated in the state of
Washington. Through it the various
properties covered by the present
merger were leased and operated as
a unit, under Mr. Burckhardt’s man
agement, during the seasons of 1922,
1923 and 1924. As the plan of op
eration proved entirely successful, it
has lately been felt that it would
be advantageous to form a perma
nent organization in which the own
ership as well as management of
the entire group should be consoli
dated. The change will naturally
tend to simplify accounting opera
tion, besides placing the properties
on a more definite and stable basis
from a business and financial stand
point.
The management under the former
plan has been marked by efficiency,
energy and enterprise. With the add
