SEVENTY;FIVE YEARS OF BANKING
Smokeless cities are on the cards for Canada ... great
industries devoid of soot-disseminating chimneys,
spotless within and without . . . good neighbors
f • residential areas, now forced to seek the un-
polluted atmosphere of the suburban fringes.
Factories with gleaming glass-brick walls and
great windows flooding their interiors with
sunshine . . : ringed by garden plots, play-
grounds, parklands . close to uncrowded,
well-planned residential areas , in which their
workers live; that is the future of the Canadian
industrial community now within view. In such
progressive developments as this, The
Dominion Bank, for three quarters of a century
a forward looking bank, will continue to play
its part.
