Louis-Alexandre Bélisle au service du milieu des affaires au Québec.

If history has noted the work of the dictionary maker Louis-Alexandre Bélisle, author and publisher of the Dictionnaire de la langue française du Canada, it has remained silent concerning his work conceiving and publishing business information for the layman. As early as 1932, he published Initiation pratique à la bourse and developed the idea of editing a series of business books, published by the Enseigne Les affaires that he managed in the early 1940s shortly before the creation of La Bibliothèque de l'homme d'affaires by Bélisle, éditeur in 1947. The publisher used the series to shed light on the world of business but also to demonstrate that economic development must first and foremost serve the advancement of the nation.
