Abstract: In an industry which produces a product which possesses queenly characteristics, i.e. mushrooms which are soft and delicate, provide richness and glamour to any menu or any food dish to which they are added, and enhance any function at which they are served, we believe that it can also be said with equal assuredness that if the mushroom is queenly, then the bold, bright, strong, durable tm can is kingly^ There is no doubt that it has been a prime factor in the expansion and development of the U.S. Mushroom Industry. Visitors to the International Mushroom Congress from outside the limits of the United States whose countries' histories are filled witb adventures and misadventures of Kings, might question the assignment of the title of "King" to the can. The can might often appear to be "lowly" but it is our hope to be able to illustrate to you in the next few moments that the tin can has earned for itself a coveted position in the industry. The Mushroom Industry in the U.S.A. has become dependent upon tin and glass containers to reach ever-increasing markets both near and far, and consumers—both high and mighty and low and humble. Canners as a single group, represent the Number One customer for the American mushroom producers. Of all the mushrooms grown m this country, at least 70% are processed in a can, jar, or some other sealed container, before reaching the ultimate consumer as a soup brine pack, browned or broiled in butter, gravy, pizza, and other sauces, or in "complete meals."
