Titre fondé sur la légende suivante tirée du photoreportage de l'ONF: The production of textiles in Canada forms a large section of the country's domestic manufacturing industry and contributes importantly to the nation's total economy. There are about 700 textile plants, located in every province with the bulk of them concentrated in Quebec and Ontario. These mills, often long-established, family-owned concerns, are of vital economic and social importance to the districts where they are located. Above, textile workers inspect section of a huge nylon herring seine net. A similar net -- 960 feet long -- is being used experimentally by fishing craft in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
