Softcover. Sixth Annual Edition. pp. 98. 4to., measuring 8.5" x 11". Illustrated card covers. Black-and-white photographic frontispiece of the compiler and publisher, F.A. Macrouch. A most remarkable achievement of compilation wherein the author manages to gather together an exceptionally wide assortment of Ukrainian-owned firms present in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Quebec, and Ontario. Preliminary leaves include such detailed statistics as the "Ukrainian Occupational Index" (listing the multitude of areas where Ukrainians in Canada were employed), "Ukrainian Population in Leading Canadian Cities", and various miscellaneous statistics (e.g.: immigration statistics for the preceding years, conjugal status, citizenship, religious affiliation, languages spoken, et al). Also preceding the index is a remarkable "History of Ukraine" printed in a graphic novel format comprising of thirty-three (33) strikingly illustrated 'strips'. The index itself details a remarkable assortment of nearly every imaginable service, and profession (for its time period), accompanied with the name of the business or individual and corresponding contact details. Interspersed are various period advertisements by many prominent Canadian firms such as the T. Eaton Co., and many smaller regional firms (chiefly Ukrainian). Exceptionally rare in commerce. Equally scarce amongst institutional holdings with no known Canadian, or American holdings at time of cataloguing. Unrecorded in OCLC. Not found in Peel, BAC/LAC, University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections, University of Saskatchewan, Fisher, et al. Rare indeed.
