operating at the present time out of the Port of Boston,
The company's fresh fish sales excluding trawler sales through the*
New England Fish Exchange have never been a major factor in its
operations.
The* volume of such sales ranged from a low of 5% of
gross dollar volume before the war to a high of approximately 8%"
during the war.
At present such sales do not exceed 4% and not
material increase in such volume is anticipated.
Frozen fish, shies
before the war made up 85% of the total dollar volume; this dropped
to 55%
during the war due to the sharp increase in the company.'?
vitamin oil business in war years (since discontinued).
Present volume
is 80%
and it is anticipated future frozen sales will remain at this,
rate;
Prior to 1947 the company produced
canned fish for animal
food
only and such sales were less than 1% of the total dollar
volume of business done.

miles
which increased only 14.9%
in 1947 as compared with 1946.
Passenger volume in June, July, August, September and November was
actually lower in 1947 than in 1946. It is expected that improvements
in techniques of handling passengers and cargo and a nearer approach
to on-time operation will materially change this picture in 1948.
