SERVED CANADA FOR
300 YEARS
The Canadian flour and feed mill
ing industry which has existed to
meet the country’s domestic needs
for 300 years or more, is one of the
Dominion’s oldest manufactures but
it is only within recent years that its
progress has become spectacular.
The demand created by the World
War gave a great impetus to the
trade. The 335 floui’ mills, many of
them of the most modern type and
highest efficiency, have a capacity

CANADIAN TURKEYS POPULAR

responding period of 1938, and with
the hitherto highest record for the
period of 1,784 boxes in 19 37. Fur
ther, the position in which Canadian

CANADIAN POTTERIES
Canada's present day pottery indus
try may be said to have got its start
at the close of the 19th century when
from out of the fiery interior of the
Black country kilns of1 England, a
J shipment of sanitary ware arrived at
.St. Johns, Quebec.
I At the time, there were two pot- jtery firms in St. Johns’s which made
: tea-pots,- jugs and other smaller
items. But Canadian-made tea-pots
could not match those made in Eng-
lland, either in price or quality. So
when the shipment of English-made
ware arrived, a new vision came to
the owners of the

plumbing was virtually unknown.
Within a few months both firms had
switched from the manufacture of
kitchen utensils to making sinks,
tubs, etc.
Today, these small poteries have
gone and in their pice is a firm
producing a complete line of vitreous
or glassy china sanitary ware rang-

accessories to soda fountain jars and

I This is only one example of the
strides made in the manufacture of
clay products in Canada. Although
most of our china dishes are import
ed, yet Canadian manufacturers are
making progress along this line. The
chief drawback lies in the fact that
we lack the necessary clay for this
particular product.
In Southern Saskatchewan there
are desposits pf ball clays which are
used for bonding in making porce
lain and othei’ types of high-grade
clays in Northern Ontario. But the
only place that china clay has been
produced commercially is near St.
Remi, Quebec.
The clays produced in Canada are
used for making building bricks, tiles
for roofing and flooring, drain tiles
and sewer pipes. There are over
one hundred plants making products
from domestic clay and their output
was valued at over Three Million
Dollars in 1935.
Imported clay comes chiefly from
England, the United States. In 1935
there were 20 factories making
tableware, pottery, flooi* and wall
tile, sanitary. Ware, earthenware,
porcelain insulators and* numerous
other products valued a*t ever two
million dollars.
According to the External Trade
Branch of the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics there were 42 tons of china
clay imported last year.
