Canadian Lumberman


 A magazine documenting the stripping of timber from Canada, the cover romanticizes the probably not workplace-safety-approved practise of log driving which is shown in the National Film Board popular 1979 short film Logdrivers Waltz, based on Wade Hemsworth's original song.  Surprisingly, the film does not predate Monty Python's Lumberjack song.

The magazine, which started in 1887, I believe, is still in business as Canadian Forest Industries .
