Circulation
The Grain Growers' Guide and later The Country Guide steadly increased in circulation over the years. Most front covers indicated how many publications were circulated weekly, bi-weekly and monthly. Trends and patterns can be observed by comparing the circulation statistics during certain significant years.
What do these patterns reveal about those that subscribed to the publication?
How does this reflect the economic status of rural Canadian families considering the social context of these time periods?
