S25: Seventh Census of Canada/Columbia Records

Quick post for a quick submission:


Book: Seventh Census of Canada, 1931
Submitted by: Phil P.

Just a quick snap from Phil on his Biblio-Mat book. I think we can all agree that it's probably not the most interesting of reads and will most likely spend quite a while in that wrapper. I was kind of interested, though, on how this would be the seventh census, as Canadian censuses have been going on since the 1800's. It turns out that first census that had Canada as a federation (versus merely a province) was taken in 1871 and each subsequent census was taken 10 years apart.

Phil also sent in another Biblio-Mat book, received much earlier:


While not overtly exciting, a vintage music catalog should be more entertaining than a census book at the very least.
