A SURVEY OF
CANADA and NEWFOUNDLAND
A year ago it was intimated that 1933 would be a better year in Canada and Newfoundland, but this hope was only partially realized. During the early part of 1933 business did not show any improvement and some experts say that Canada reached its lowest business point in May. During the latter part of the year there was a decided improvement and exhibitors are looking forward to 1934 even more optimistically than they did in 1933. The official general index of business activity for September was 75.1 as against 67.6 in September, 1932.
