UEBEC 



THE MOST PROSPEROUS PROVINCE OF 



CANADA 



Offers unrivalled opportunities for the profitable employment of capital. 



Its huge forests contain pulp wood and other commercial essences in almost 

 inexhaustible quantities. 



Its numerous traction systems and thousands of industries want all the 

 electricity which can be produced from its water-powers — only a small 

 proportion of which are at present under exploitation. 



Its rich asbestos, iron, and copper mines already form a great and profitable 

 industry, although but a small proportion of the mineral wealth of the Province 

 has been tapped. 



Its dairying industry is exceptionally prosperous. The cheese of Quebec 

 commands the hit best prices. This is due to ideal grazing conditions brought 

 about by its rich pastures and abundance of pure water. 



To render easier and more economical the interchange and distribution of 

 commodities, and promote the prosperity of industry and commerce, the 

 Quebec Government has entered upon a vigorous policy of 



GOOD ROADS, 



and will spend for that purpose, as rapidly as men, materials, and machinery 

 can be obtained for building these roads, 



TEN MILLION DOLLARS, 



which will provide 3,300 miles of perfect roads within the limits of the 

 Province. 



The finances of the Province of Quebec are on a sound basis. Every 

 financial year shows a substantial surplus, which has enabled the Govern- 

 ment, after providing amply for education and all the public services, to 

 reduce the public debt, during the last five years, from 



SEVEN MILLIONS TO FOUR AND A HALF 

 MILLION POUNDS, 



a record which is unique in Canada ! 



If you contemplate investing capital in Canada, you would therefore do 

 well to investigate the opportunities offered by Quebec.
