"But that isn't really telling me who you are," said Paddy.

The comment is from the Bank) of Nova Scotia as it celebrates its 125th anniversary and look: across the years to its founding Halifax in I832.

As an institution which largely confined its activities to the Mar- ltimes for its first 50 years its records are particularly interest- ing for their glimpses into Mar- itime life of that time. in 1832 a wave of immigration to Nova Scotia was approaching t its crest and by I537 the popu- lation was almost 200.000 having more than doubled in 20 years.

Pioneer agriculture and thel catching and curing of fish still formed th base of the economy I i ','w . .- V - but lumbe had expanded rap- idly. sti I ed by British de- mand for . uare timber and a growing West Indies trade in

ships and the railway.

"The rapid decline of ship- building and its many subsid- iary industries after the mid- lil7i)s and the ousting from ocean- carrying trades of ships owned and operated by Maritimers. were serious blows to the whole economy and brought decline to many a thriving small part.

"ln addition there were fre- quent sevcre depressions in ms world's timber markets. and the rise of heel-sugar production In Europe resulted in low prices and low purchasing power in the cane-sugar producing West In- dies. that very important market for dried cod.

"Though there were difficul- ties, there were also opportunit- lcs. These years saw the begin- nings of the expansion of Mar- itime industries which were to become important in the next century.

"Railways and sitamshlps. to- gelher with tariffs, stimulated coal mining and the iron and steel industries. New manufacturing was attracted to railway centres and car shops and repair facilit- ies were established.

Of the years that followed. the bank says:

"During the M909. though Can- ada's general growth was slow the separate parts of its economy gradually became more inte- grated as a rapidly expanding network of railways and other communications drew them to- gether.

"True. the economy of the Man- ifime provinces found integration difficult. Despite. a growing trade in coal and other products chief industries continued to look over the sea for markets.

"ln the next decade. however. this relative isolation was broken down much further. Canada's
