Notes Newscopy: "ONCE A NUISANCE, CATCH NOW WORTH $1000 A TON--Capt. Adolph Stenland, left, smiles as the crew of his schooner Viking, out of Seattle, unloads a twelve ton catch of soupfin shark in San Francisco. For soupfin livers are so highly regarded as a Vitamin A source that the fish sell for $1000 a ton - and once were regarded as nuisances."
