Invaluable

to

"The
past
year,
broadly
speaking.
has
been
one
of
prosperity
as
far
as
Prince
Rupert
itself
is
concerned.
Conditions
throughout
the
world
have
been
for
some
time
in
a
some
what
chaotic
condliton,
and
we
in
i
this
Dominion
have
suffered
considerably
through
various
influences,
more
particularly
from
the
disastrous
collapse
of
the
stock
market,
and
the
unfortunate
position
with
regard
to
the
marketing
of
our
wheat
crop.
While
this
condition
has
caused
severe
depression
throughout
the
major
portion
of
our
country,
we,
in
Prince
Rupert
were
more
fortunately
placed,
and
possibly
enjoyed
one
of
the
best
trading
years
in
our
history.
