Book excerpt: Excerpt from Directory of the Chemical Industries in Canada as of Date January 1, 1919 At the request of the Honorary Advisory Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics recently undertook a special survey of Canadian Chemical Industries, as a section of the annual Industrial Census. The purpose of the survey was twofold: (1) to provide a directory of Canadian Chemical Industries and their products for the use of the trade; and (2) to assemble data regarding the raw materials used, the products and by-products manufactured, imports and exports, and other information calculated to indicate not only the importance of the industry and the progress which it has made during the war, but also possible new and profitable trade openings in industrial chemical lines. The present report represents the first section of the above, namely, the Directory of Canadian Chemical Industries. In the term chemical industries is included: (1) all concerns engaged in the production of chemicals, either as main products or as by-products, and (2) concerns in which any of the processes used are essentially dependent on the agency of chemical change. The directory is in two divisions: (1) an alphabetical list of the various concerns, the head office address of each, and the location of branches where such exist, together with a detailed list of their products, including in the latter chemicals and products resulting from chemical processes; (2) a list alphabetically arranged of the chemical products manufactured in Canada showing the names of the various firms engaged in their manufacture. The carrying out of the survey has been under the direction of Mr. S. J. Cook, B.A., A.I.C., of the Food and Drugs Laboratory of the Department of Trade and Commerce, as Chemist in Charge. The thanks of the Bureau are hereby tendered to the Laboratory and also to Mr. Alfred Burton, Honorary Secretary of the Society of Chemical Industry in Canada, for valuable assistance and data. It is requested that any inaccuracies or omissions in the directory be brought to the attention of the Bureau at the earliest possible moment. As the need for publication was pressing, it has been decided to issue the directory forthwith, though verification on all points had not yet been possible.
