THE TIMES-ADVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 1945
Well over one hundred thou
sand individual Canadians—
plumbers and postmen, truck
drivers and trainmen, doctors
and dentists, business men
and business women—turned
to the B of M during the last
twelve months for a Personal
Loan when extra money was
needed to take advantage of
an opportunity or meet an
emergency. Ninety-four peo
ple out of every hundred who
asked for money got it.
In financing the needs of
government and of business,
the Bank shares heavily by
investment in government
and other bonds and deben
tures. Throughout the war
these investments have in
creased tremendously and
today they amount to well
over a billion dollars. The
majority of these are gilt
edge securities, maturing at
early dates, and are readily
marketable.
More than a million Cana
dians keep their money safe
at the B of M. Each of the
Bank’s 1,400,000 deposit
accounts is an expression of
trust in this 128-year-old
institution. The money on
deposit, totalling $1,613,-
000,000, is being constantly
employed for the financial
needs of the nation, of busi
ness, and of citizens in every
walk of life.
To buy seed, to market crops,
to improve their farms .. .
grain growers, cattle and
poultry raisers, fruit growers
and fur breeders—farmers in
every line of agriculture—
borrow at the B of M. Money
which farmers borrow not
only brings comfort and pros
perity to agricultural com
munities, but, by enabling
farmers to produce more, con
tributes to the prosperity and
welfare of the whole nation.
Business firms and private
citizens from the Atlantic to
the Pacific have, during the
year, borrowed and repaid
manymillionsofdollars from
the B of M. Now standing
at $220,000,000, the Bank’s
loans oil the wheels of com
merce and industry ... speed
their expansion . . . create
employment . . , and help
Canadians in their personal
day-to-day financing.
