A glimpse of tomorrow
The award-winning stylists at Deilcraft have
established their eminence in every period,
from colonialtocontemporary. Now, inspired
by the futuristic concept of CIRCA '75, they
present an entirely new mood: tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the CIRCA series of Electro
home stereo consoles..
Tomorrow is bold, dramatic and impec
cable. It is also startlingly innovative-
witness the Electrohome sound chair, a
perfectly proportioned swivel wing chair
with built-in stereo speakers. All the privacy
of earphone listening, but with a realism
that is breathtaking.
If you have not yet seen the Electrohome
CIRCA series in person, see it in the lavish
full-colour catalogue. Write Electrohome

Canada s First Bank celebrates
Throughout this Centennial year, Bank of
Montreal has joined with communities,
large and small, across the nation in cele
brating 100 years of Confederation.
On November 3rd, we have our own
special day of celebration — the 150th an
niversary of the founding of Canada's First
Bank and the Canadian banking system.
On this historic occasion we could be
looking backward over 150 years of
achievement. Instead, we’re looking
ahead.
We’re looking ahead with the enthusiasm
of a vibrant institution geared for the
future... A people's bank pervaded with a
dynamic urge to maintain the leadership
that has always characterized its service
to the Canadian people.
The years ahead will be full of new
challenges and new opportunities. Fresh
ground must be broken and new pathways
established in creative services to pur cus
tomers to meet their ever-changing needs,
Right now we’re busy trail-blazing. That’s
the responsibility that comes with the
privilege of being a leader.
When you're 150 years old you have to think young ■ In the pastyear alone, Bank of Montreal
has continued to lead the way by being first with: True Savings Accounts ■ True Chequing
Accounts ■ Bancardchek (the cash card) ■ Customer Convenience Hours ■ As we enter the
second half of our second century it’s as true today aS it was in 1817;
The bank of the future is Canada's First Bank. A A
