Manitoba honey production in 1967 reached 9,495,250 pounds, up from 8,213,000 pounds in 1966.

Automation Of Fifty Years Ago Recalled
The Banner, Manitoba’s early weekly, recalls installing a modern Linotype fifty years ago this week. The Model L Linotype served until 1950 when a Model 8 replaced it. The machine, once gas powered, later moved to Gilbert Plains and remains in use at The Maple Leaf. Conversion to electricity occurred during its service, and the office anticipates future gains as the shop transitions from hand typesetting to this machine. The Great War affected the printing business, especially in attracting staff, as The Banner seeks to continue serving its customers.
