What it shows
The release notes that exports of fibre fell by 30,000 tons in 1924, which it puts down to "the consumption of this material at the new asbestos manufacturing plant located at Asbestos, Quebec." It also reports lower prices for Rhodesian asbestos that year. For the same Bureau's later report on the industry, see Dominion Bureau of Statistics, The Asbestos Mining Industry in Canada, 1948 (1949).
