Industrial British Columbia 1945

152 pages. Large oblong book measuring 10" x 14.5". "Because war censorship forbade publicity there is a widespread lack of knowledge of the outstanding production job for the war effort done by British Columbia industry... Few British Columbians - certainly very few Eastern Canadians, United States business men or British Empire industrialists - realize the extent of the accomplishments and the facilities that are now available here for manufacturing of all kinds. This survey has been prepared to place on record the information that is felt should be known. It is in two parts: First, an illustrated news section graphically telling the story of leading manufacturing developments; second, a concise factual compilation of statistics giving complete authoritative basic data." - from title page.
