Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Commissioner of Crown Lands of the Province of Ontario: For the Year 1879
I feel a delicacy in giving advice in this matter to parties who may very naturally say that they know their own business best, but nevertheless I would venture to observe that those in Canada engaged or interested in the trade in timber, which is next in value to agricultural products in the exports of the Dominion, Viz.: In 1878 and respectively, should acquire a knowledge of and endeavour to cultivate a trans - Atlantic trade, and would suggest that a spirited effort should be made to extend the sawn lumber business to countries which have hitherto imported the timber in a crude state and manufactured it to suit their purposes. Already have the European and other markets been successfully invaded by the produce of industries of various kinds from the American continent, and there seems to be no reason why our great staple export should not meet with equal success.
