IMMUNIZE! w They know.... IT IS NOT MONEY ALONE More than a million and a half people deal with the Bank of Montreal, and they know that it is not money alone they deal in when they come to us. It goes beyond that, These people have confidence' in the Bank; they know that their money is safe with us, and that they will be fairly treated in their business dealings. We try to keep constantly in mind that the Bank is not primarily an impressive row of figures or an imposing building. We think rather of the Bank as the local man- ager and his staff, on' whom our customers can always call for friendly counsel and service. Our branch -banking system is founded upon this relationship. A man's relationship with his bank man- ager is, and should be, a highly personal one. Yet in each of our 549 branches, behind this confidential relationship, there stand the resources and stability of a nation-wide, century -old institution. Thus the strength of the institution is linked with human un- derstanding in the service of the individual. I believe sincerely that this is the spirit guiding our relations with the public today. \Without such a spirit, the Bank could not maintain or justify its place in the economy of this country, nor would We be able to give our best to Canada in the years of great promise which lie ahead.
