To the Reader

HE best customer of the United States in the American

THE

hemisphere is the Dominion of Canada and, with one exception, she is also our best customer among all the nations of the world. That one exception is Great Britain.

In view of this fact the Bankers Trust Company has been led to prepare this book in order that the company, its stockholders, clients and friends might have at hand for ready reference reliable data about Canada.

Because of the active coöperation of Canadians in public and private life, acknowledgment of which is made elsewhere, we have reason to believe that the data gathered here are authoritative.

If the book proves to be useful to our friends, and especially if it helps to strengthen the bond of union between business men on either side of that 3000 miles of "unfortified boundary line" stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, we will be fully rewarded for our effort.
