We Love This Old 1950s Peterborough Insert Promoting The Area
/We discovered this cute old newspaper insert from the early Fifties archived at the Canoe Museum touting the benefits of doing business in Peterborough...
Some of the key stats from the insert promotion:
- Population: 38,272
- Average annual industrial wage: $2,367 (which was higher than both the Ontario average and the Canadian average!)
- Rate of growth since 1941: 51%
So yes, we've more than doubled our population since that time. Should we keep it at this size? Perfect size? Tell us on our Facebook page.
