We like to go visiting to see how other people produce, textiles. A good
many come to visit us, and we like this too. All main• countries have
textile industries, and people come from other countries in the western
group to study our methode. The textile industry here in Canada is
among the leaders in technical skill and effectiveness. And along
with the U.S. it pays the highest wages for textile employment any-
where. In Canada the industry is the largest employer of manufacturing
labor. Textiles also pay the largest manufacturing wage bill in this
country. In these times, the size and technical ability of the industry
are important features of Canada's strength.
