“4 tall order}? you say. We agree. What chance would there be to
build a new pulp mill in British Columbia if each of the employees

had to provide the money to create his job! .

For example, the pulp and logging operations of Columbia Cellulose at

Prince Rupert and Terrace represent an investment of $50,000 for each

of the 800 men and women employed. It took this vast amount
of money to get the plant built and the logs rolling toward it. It will take a lot

more money to complete the expansion program now being carried out.

= These expensive tools’ are beyond the reach of any one of us.

We must band together to build them . . . band together to run them.

That is the way we have developed this continent. That is why
we haye been able to raise our production and living standards

beyond the wildest dreams of our own grandfathers.
