H of Winnipeg and Manitoba met the crisis caused by the opening of the Panama canal in 1914, and its increasing use for westbound traffic in the years following world War i is one of the epic stories of North american Industry. For generations the distributing Centre of the Prairie regions this City within a few years found itself faced with a situation where goods from the Eastern centres of production could be carried by sea through the canal disembarked at Vancouver and freighted eastward to the Middle Prairies at less than the Cost of the Overland rail haul Westward. There were those who said around 1920, that Winnipeg As the Point of distribution and metropolitan Centre of the Prairies was doomed. They reckoned without the pioneering spirit that was the foundation and remains the strength of this City and province. Where Lay the solution the business men of the Early twenties answered in Industry. Winnipeg must become itself a great Centre of manufacturing. Using the abundant cheap Power available near the City and founded upon the province s natural resources factories must be built to serve the people of the old distributing territory from the red to the Rockies. Today we measure the results of this policy. The Gross value of manufacturing production in Manitoba last year was More than forty per cent of All wage earners in Manitoba and 50 per cent in greater than persons Drew their livelihood from manufacturing Industry. Fifteen years ago production was less than a fifth o and employment less than half of these figures. It seems fitting therefore that in Winnipeg traditional Centre of Hudson s Bay company activities in America. The Bay should serve for this special occasion As a show Case for the products of Manitoba Industry. Beginning saturday and continuing through next saturday products of nearly 100 Manitoba industries will be prominently displayed throughout this store. Sixty of them will be shown in various Bay departments. The others mostly larger products of heavy Industry May be seen in Beaver Hall 4th we give a specially cordial invitation to All our customers and All citizens of Winnipeg and Manitoba to pause for a moment during this coming week and inspect these products of their Home industries. Consider their excellence As products compare them with goods made elsewhere. You will acquire a new respect for your Home province As a Centre of Industry. The Bay places these products before you with a special recommendation for though Bay buyers scour the world seeking the goods you require this company at its North american Centre of trading has a special interest in goods produced at Home.
