Soldier run cannery plan for returned men in British Columbia
Secretary Pyke promotes soldier industries with a proposed cannery venture led by A H Sherman to employ returned soldiers. The plan envisions 100000 to 150000 dollars capitalization with 51 percent held by Sherman and 49 percent profits reserved for veterans stock purchases as wages and catch proceeds fund a share program. Operations could extend to fruit canneries and year round fish markets with locations and rights coordinated through Fisheries Commissioner Cunningham.
