Signatures and inscriptions note:

[Original caption] Canadian Economy is enriched yearly by a wealth of furs - contribution of the little-known, poorly-mapped, sparsely-populated North. Out of the land of the Eskimos comes the bulk of the white fox catch, while a few blue, red and cross foxes, weasel (ermine) and polar bears are also traded. The Eskimo is a happy, childlike nomad. He lives mainly by fishing and hunting, his principal foods being seal, caribou, ptarmigan and white whale. Winter travel is by dog team and sledge. Dogs can pull 100 pounds each over a distance of about thirty miles per day. At intervals they are allowed to rest in harness on the trail as shown.
