Abstract
The biggest of all Armstrong’s new, postwar ventures was in the unfamiliar field of hydroelectric power and pulp and paper manufacture. It was undertaken in the difficult physical environment of Newfoundland. There they built on foundations laid by others in large-scale resource development, but in doing so they were embarking on the project which contributed most to their financial collapse.
