Front description: Text: It has been said "the civilization" of a country is shown by its roads." All the great Empires built great roads - roads that in many cases outlived the history of the builders. The modern road is the railroad, and at present Canada is the greatest railroad builder in the world. The Grant Trunk Pacific, which is being built through the foresight of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Liberal Government, doubles the productive area of Canada: passes through 1200 miles of grain growing country in the west, and opens for settlement vast areas in New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and the Northwest. Don't forget these things and don't foget to whom the credit is due - Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Liberal Government. Back description:
