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. ni uiwi 10 A MILLION CANADIANS SHIPKA The regular meeting of the Wo­ men’s Association will be held Thursday afternoon, December Sth, at the home of Mrs. Earl Ratz.
