"Of course, I was just a little nipper at the time,
but I remember how he often told stories about what
Clinton was like when the Bank of Montreal had its
start here. There sure have been lots of changes over
the years . . . dad certainly wouldn't recognize
Clinton today !
"The bank's first office was in a two-storey brick
building on Rattenbury, right opposite the public lib-
rary. It opened four years before Clinton was incor-
porated as a town...so that would make it in 1879 —
August, I think it was.
"It wasn't a branch of the B of M at the start.
Molsons Bank it was in those days. But the two banks
merged 'way back and, of course, we know it as the
B of M.
"Just after the turn of the century, I think it was,
the bank moved to its present office at the corner of
Victoria and Ontario. It's been kept right up to date,
though, with renovation schemes from time to time.
"Why, do you know it's now 80 years that the
people of Clinton have been dealing with the old
bank. It's a long time . . . and you and I and a lot
of the rest of us have been dealing with the 13 of M
for a good many of those years."
Yes, here and throughout the length and breadth of
the nation, the Bank of Montreal has grown with the
community, sharing in its growing pains as well as in
its achievements.
And, in hamlets and villages, towns and cities, the
B of M is, still pioneering with the men and women who
are building the Canada of tomorrow.
