Excerpt from Address by Francis H. Clergue at a Banquet Given in His Honor by the Citizens of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont: Friday Evening, February Fifteenth, Nineteen Hundred and One
To mention the considerable expenditure of capital already made in the Sault Ste. Marie enterprises and to predict the still larger expenditure necessary to carry to completion the ad ditional works now under construction is naturally to excite the admiration and enthusiasm of every one having practical interests in this community; but no degree of enthusiasm on the part of the promoters, no applause that their ambition and courage may receive from the interested observers, will alone secure financial returns to the investors. The extent and variety of the various works in operation or under construe tion here would likely excite the criticism and unfavorable comment of those whose observation has often disclosed the disappointments which have resulted from injudicious expend itures by the projectors of large operations.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a candid memoir by a prominent figure in the industrial development of Canada. The author reflects on his experiences establishing major industrial works in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book provides a detailed account of the challenges and successes faced by the author and his associates as they sought to harness the region's vast natural resources, including the construction of iron and steel mills, pulp and paper factories, and hydroelectric power plants. The author's narrative is interwoven with insights into the broader context of Canada's industrial development and its political and economic landscape. He argues that Canada's industrial stagnation was due to a lack of investment in domestic manufacturing, and that the country's future prosperity depended on embracing industrialization. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Canadian industrial development, the role of entrepreneurship in shaping a nation's economic growth, and the challenges and opportunities faced by pioneers in the field of industrialization.
