It has made and continues to make
'marked and consiseent progress The
output of Quebeees manutaaturea in
1919-1920 was $890,420,023, compared
With $158,287,9941i 1900, a notable

raeway facilitieo and waterways and
a .claes of artisans and workers to
Which tribute le paid from all sections
ot the Ametican continent.
Canadian industry was born of Que-
bec's settlement and consequent maces-
atty. The thrifty mothers. of Canada,
to provide clothing for their children,
laid the foundation of the textile in-
dustry with the saint/Mg wheel and
hand loom in the seventeenth century.
Hat and shoe factories were establish-
ed In Quebec prior to the year 1668,
and reeord.s of the year 1681 show the
existence at that time ot four weavers
of cloth, one of carpets, one. ribbon
weaver, four ropemakers, six hatters
and one carder. The first timber
manufactured in Canada was, stipped
from Quebec province, and the first
Canadian brewery was established in
Quebec city.
Mining for iron ore commenced on
the banks of the St, Maurice River In
1733, attd by 1737 smelting operations
had been entered upon on a -large
scale. The first sugar refinery was es-
tablished. In Montreal in 1854 and the
first flour mill in 1860, In 1851 the
province boasted 541 griat mills, 1065

Quebec's forestsare reaponsible for
the greatest 'amount of industrial ac -
deity. Pulp and paper is the leading
industry which in the past has wit-
nessed, a phen.omenal development and
is 5t111 undergoing a stemly expansion.
I Pulp productstincreased in value from
$2,421,068 fn 1900 to $33,637,775 in
1920, and paper from $2,021,592 to $41,-
601,790 in the, same period. Forest
products employ 20,000 men and have
a me:ideation value et $40,761,730, hav-
ing jumped to this figure from $18,-
800,716 in 1900.
The manufacture of butter and
;cheese constitutes' an important in-
dustry and in 1920, 40,037,692 pounds
of butter having a. value of $22,352,146
and cheese to the value ,at $13,356,475,
were manufactured.
In the value of manufactured cot-
tons Quebec Made the Dominion with
twelve textile pleats haeln,g a capital

visits theshoe:, places of the pro.vinces

rice paddles, the canals the Yangtze,
the temples and pagodas but he may
not realize that tho smokestacks las-
ing here and there in the calm of the
Chinese landscape denote important
cotton, flour and beamoll industries
that are the beginnieg of a modern in-

great stores, hotels, comparable to the
