Canadian secondary manufacturing industry / by D.H. Fullerton and H.A. Hampson.: Z1-1955/2-41-27E-PDF
"This survey of Canadian secondary manufacturing industry has three broad aims. First, it attempts to examine the present position and past growth of secondary industry and to show how this is related to the expansion and changing character of the Canadian economy as a whole. Secondly, it sets out to describe and analyze a number of the important factors which influence the costs of secondary industry and consequently its ability to compete with imported goods. Finally, it looks to the prospects for the future, to the prospective total demand for the products of secondary industry, and to the share of this market that is likely to be obtained by Canadian firms"--Introduction, page 3.
