Itnt a liii|ipler fate awaits those thousands and thousands of salmon each
year who, in Hie prime or their ocean existence, In the Icy waters of Alaska,
are caught and fanned for American tnhle delicacies. They are endowed wlih
a pleasant Immortality—and are destined to be featured In the leading role
of many a memorable salmon dish.
fanned salmon has long lieen a great Amerlcnn favorite —a food packed
with high protein value, rich in vitamin D, lodine, calcium, and other mln

menus.
In fancy dress, for party salad service, canned salmon Is a happy sugges
tlon. Nothing so festive was ever more economical, or easier to pre|>are than
a salmon mold. Made in a fish mold, the finished salad is humorously lifelike,
co'orful and delicately flavored as the most particular hostess could desire.
