For a good many years Canada has supplied tnii« }> of the sulphite pulp used for that purpose in thes coun- tries. In 19212 the Natural Resources Intelligence Service of tho Canadian Dept. of the Interior published a re- port drawing attention to the utiusu- artiflcial silk manufacturing in its entirety. Tho following year Cour- taulds, Ltd., largest manufacturers in the United Kingdom, sent engineers to Canada to investigate these represen- tations, with th«> irsult that a plant was established in Cornwall, Ontario, in 1924, at a cost jf $2,500,000. This would appear to be but the pre- liminary of many I'hers. Canadian Ctlene.se, Ltd., capitalized at >7,000,- 000, is now constructing a largo plant at OrummondvillB, Que., and thi llowr- ard Smith Paper Mills have formed a subsidiary company ca'lcd tho Can- ndia.T Cellulose Co., which will bo op- erated at Cornwall, Ont.
