Additional information included inside the large print enclosure: newspaper clipping with the caption "A Chinese cannery worker at the P.A.F. Cannery in Bellingham prepares to put a salmon onto the "Iron Chink," a machine that removed the head, fins, and tail of a fish and eviscerated the innards. The advent of the machine meant the eventual disappearance of Chinese workers in local canneries. This 1905 photo details just one of the industries that helped the Bellingham area grow.
