Notes | The Depression really began to bite the fishing industry in the fall of 1931. “With fish available in quantities beyond the power of the established markets to absorb for the moment, fishermen took to peddling their catches through the country and small towns and consigning their fish direct to the Portland market. This practice had a demoralizing effect upon the business of established dealers.” (p.20) |
