MARRIAGES

F. W. Molson, the President of the
Molsons Bank, to the shareholders
at the annual general meeting held
in Montreal on 3rd inst.
Briefly the reason was that the
Directors hada good property to sell
and were able to secure a good price
for it. That reason. principally in-
duced them to accept the terms of-
fered by the Bank of Montreal.
• With this amalgamation, the last
of the "Family" Banks of Canada
passes out "of existence. The Mol -
sons Bank was founded in 1853 as a
private institution and two years lat
er it received a charter and com-
menced business as a chartered
bank on lst October 1855, For
some years it was conducted as a
purely local bank in Montreal, but
in ,1870 the first branch office was
opened in London, Ont, and other
branches were opened as the
development of the community
warranted. In 1873 a branch was
opened in Exeter under the manage-
ment of the late Mr, E, W. Strathy,
and from that time to this The
Molsons Bank has been very closely
identified with the business develop-
ment of South Huron, serving the
financial needs of the community
through this and other branches
subsequently opened in the district
and affording a safe depository for
the funds of its customers through
good times and bad; through all the
vicissitudes of business - life for aver
half a century. During that period
nine managers have conducted the
local affairs of the Bank. In 1877
the late Mr. Strathy was transferred
to the branch at Owen Sound, and
succeeded in Exeter by Mr. H. C.
