Abstract
The canning business is seasonal. This is one of the reasons it was slow to realize the need of cost accounting. However, when E. N. Hurley, then Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, issued an appeal prior to our entry into the war to all business concerns to study their costs, the National Canners' Association lost no time in bringing home to Canners the urgent need of action. As a result a Committee was appointed and a uniform system of accounting was adopted. Great strides have been made since that time and the Cost Accounting Committee has become a permanent group of the National Canners' Association.
