The Diversity of Industrial Experience: Cabinet and Furniture Manufacture in Late Nineteenth-Century Ontario
以19世纪末加拿大安大略省的橱柜和家具制造业为例，说明工业化路径的多样性。当地市场规模小、收入低、木材丰富，限制了机械化和企业规模，小作坊在整个19世纪乃至20世纪初仍具竞争力，形成了独特的工业经验。
The diversity of paths to industrialization is illustrated by the example of the cabinet- and furniture-manufacturing industry in Ontario, Canada. Complex and unpredictable demand combined with smaller markets and lower incomes than those in the United States and the relative abundance of wood to limit mechanization and the size of enterprise in the Canadian industry. Small and unpowered workshops remained competitive throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth century, creating a distinctive industrial experience that reflects the unique interaction of local demand and supply.
