Financial Post Reviews Textiles Outlines Operation of Local Plant
A Financial Post section surveys Canada's textile industry with focus on the Wool Combing Corporation. It notes the Acton plant moves, transferred equipment, and a shift to Australian wool bought for English combing. About 100 workers affected, while profits dip and production consolidates. Decline at the Old Car Works in Fort William includes a 30 year idle Model T restoration by local boys.

Great Ox Trains Of Old Prairies Vivid In Memory
Portage la Prairie reminiscences recount ox trains that crossed the prairies hauling Red River carts with oxen and pony helpers. Pioneer trail stretched from Winnipeg to Edmonton with St Paul as far as source routes, and Saskatchewan Avenue linked Portage to the Saskatchewan trail in the 1870s. By 1882 the Canadian Pacific Railway altered transportation, ending the ox cart era.
