The development of the manufacturing industry in Canada is of special interest. Several of the principal companies in Canada were founded by United States companies and some are still con- trolled by their parent organisations, which, in several cases, have allocated to their Canadian branches the care of certain export markets. In Appendix V we give certain particulars of 15 of the larger Canadian companies, some of which have been Canadian from inception, whilst others though started by American inter- ests have subsequently passed under Canadian control. The in- formation in Appendix V shows that although the companies may concentrate on certain markets they do not concentrate rigidly on special lines of goods. Tyres and shoes or tyres and soles and heels are not uncommonly produced by the same company. The largest rubber manufacturing companies in Canada’ are the Good- year Tyre & Rubber Co., of Canada and the Dominion Rubber Co. The production of the former company is some 6,000 tyres a day. Both companies, in addition to tyres, manufacture footwear and mechanical goods. The Dunlop Tyre & Rubber Goods Co., of Toronto is associated with the Dunlop organisation of Great Britain and is engaged largely on tyres. The Gutta Percha & Rubber Co., Litd., a purely Canadian concern, has a wide range of products covering most kinds of footwear, mechanical goods and tyres. With some firms the manufacture of goods other than tyres is the more important activity. As will have been clear from our analysis of the international trade in rubber goods, the Canadian industry has in the course of very few years achieved an important position among the countries of the world in which rubber goods ire manufactured. XVIL—-THE INDUSTRY IN AUSTRALIA. 81. In Australia there are some 60 factories in which rubber products are manufactured and which employ approximately 4,000 workpeople. The three principal Australian rubber manufacturing ompanies are :— . Dunlop-Perdriau Co.; North Australian Rubber Mills: Hardies’ Rubber Co.
