LOANS: Your hank is playing an important role in our expanding economy by means of loans to Cataadiaiys of every calling — farmers, miners, fishermen, oil men, lumbermen, ranchers --- to industrial and business enterprises andel() Pro.' vincial and Municipal Govern- ments. As of October 31st, 13 of M loans totaled $857,- 762,561 — the highest figure in the history of the }tank. In a thousand ways, these dollars played their part in maintain- ing full employment and in sustaining — or bettering — our standard of living. INVESTMENTS: At the close of the year the B of M bad $864,67,948 invested in ' high -grade government bonds and other public securities which have a ready market. This money is help- ing to finance ptofemment projects for the betterment of the country and, the welfare of Canadians at large.
