If you have moe than $10

HERE'S THE REASON
Canada must have the

You CAN still find people who "don't believe in
banks" . . . who keep their cash in old coffee pots,
or hide it in the woodpile, or carry it around.
But most folk nowadays keep their money in bank
accounts. They can get it whenever they want it;"
and they can pay their bills by cheque. Canadians
have more than seven million such deposit accounts.
In terms of Canada's adult population, that makes it
practically unanimous.
The banks, in turn, know they must earn this confidena
by giving you the best service they know how.
Today you can take your account to any bank you choose.
And what is in your bank book is strictly between you
and your bank. It is your owniprivate business.
State monopoly of banks
would wipe out competition and
would open your bank account
to the eye of the
state official.
