Title |
Productive and Spatial Strategies in the Montreal Tobacco Industry, 1850-1918
|
Abstract |
An exploration of the productive and spatial strategies associated with industrial change. Using the Montreal tobacco industry between 1850 and 1918 as his example, the author investigates, through the concept of production formats, the range of strategies open to firms and industries. At the turn of the twentieth century, Montreal was the tobacco-manufacturing centre of Canada. By 1918, it accounted for 50 percent of all cigars and 98 percent of all cigarettes made in Canada, employing some 7,000 workers.
