Don’t Take Risks With Those Valuables You Cannot Replace A Safety Deposit Box at the B of M Costs Less than Two Cents a Day It’s surprising how many possessions of real value most__ of us have. There are bonds and important documents like deeds, insurance policies and family papers. There are personal valuables like jewellery and those, which, worth little perhaps in themselves, are irreplaceable because of the memories that go with them. If you are keeping possessions such as these at home, you are running a constant risk of their loss through fire, theft or just forgetfulness. Maybe not a great risk, but it is there all the time, and it is so easy to do away with. For less than two cents a day, you can give your valuables the protection of a safety deposit box in the vault of the Bank of Montreal. Not, surely, a very great price to pay for the peace of mind it will bring? Drop into the Exeter Branch of the B of M when you’re next that way, and ask Duke Hall, the accountant, to show you his “nest” of safety deposit boxes.
