Praise for this book

'Canada has a rich, but unknown, history of entrepreneurship. This DCB publication fills an important gap in the literature of Canadian business history. We can only hope that the DCB will follow up with another publication on the managers of large Canadian corporations.'--Joe Martin, Director of Canadian Business History, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto
