About This Item
Chicago: Poole Brothers, 1917. Folding map measuring 38 ½ x 26 ¾ inches. Tape repairs to verso, some tears at folds and edges, still bring and attractive, good to very good overall with excellent restoration potential. A map of the canneries in Alaska, British Columbia and Washington operated by the Deming and Gould Company, who were influential in the growth of the Alaskan salmon trade. The map's date of printing, 1917, suggests that perhaps it was related to the war effort, as salmon demand increased during this period. The Demings, based in Chicago, were influential in the growth of the salmon trade in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, founding Pacific American Fisheries Inc. in 1899 and continuing in various iterations until their sale of the firm in 1934 due to president E.B. Deming's ailing health. The map shows seventeen different canneries, several on the Alaska peninsula and the one in Bellingham. We find no record of this imprint, only a later and small version held at the University of Washington.
