Showing the way for the fourth successive year, the Bank of :Montreal marks yet another forwerd step in humanizing its annual report, a practice origin- ated by the B of M in 1945, and designed to take the. formality out of bank statements. Addressing its 131st annual report "A Special Message to Customers of the B of NI", the report immediately includes the reader as an active participant with the heading: "It Took You and 1,700,000 Fellow Canadians to Write This Billion -Dollar Story". Then it goes on to show just ,how dollars deposited at the B of M are "kept hard et work helping Canadians in every walk of life to make a better future for themselves and for Canada." As in last year's statement, bright thumbnail sketches and clear 'everyday language in the actual breakdown of the state- ment's figures make the B of M's report understandable and inter- esting to everyone. Record Deposits 134 Billion In step with an increase in practically every department of the bank's activities, deposits are nearly 100 million dollars higher, with most of the increase being in the savings deposit category: These deposits, amounting to well over one and three-quarter billion dollars, demonstrate how a national institution like the B of M is big simply because a great legion of citizens look to it to safeguard their savings and. to employ those savings accord- ing to sound banking principles. Reflecting the bank's steadily growing participation in busi- ness activities, the B of M's com- mercial loans increased by near- ly 8 per cent over last year's figure and its holdings of in- dustrial bonds and debentures show a substantial addition of over 32 million, However, this has not occasioned a reduction of the bank's holdings of govern- ment and other public securities, which have increased by ap- proximately 5 per cent. The bank's resources have reached a new high of $1,191,- 380,000. This figure exceeds the B of M's obligations to the pub- lic by $82,939,000, Net Profits Steady After paying ...all overhead ex- penses, including staff salaries, bonuses, and contributions to the pension fund, and after making provision for contingen- cies and for depreciation of bank premises and taxes, the B of M reports earnings for the year amounting to $5,459,000. This compares with $5,423,000 in the previous year. Profits before taxes were somewhat lower, re- flecting higher operating costs and interest payments on larger savings deposits, Out of earnings $3,600,000 was distributed to shareholders, the balance of $1,859,669 being trans- ferred to the profit and loss account. A graphic earnings statement, an innovation in last year's B of M report, sums up the whole billion -dollar story, giving in detail — down to the cent — the distribution of the year's earn- ings in relation to the share- holder's invested dollar. On each dollar of the share- holder's money invested in the Bank of Montreal, the bank earn- ed 10.17 cents in 1948. Of this, 3.59 cents were paid in taxes, 4.34 cents went to the share- holders, and the. remaining 2,24 cents went to surplus. 0 --- FOR FINE PRINTING PHONE 4 THE NEWS -RECORD HURON OLD 'BOYS HOLD SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL EVENING Huron Old ''Boys' Assoofetion of Toronto held a most success- ful At -Home at Casa Loma, Tues..' day evening, November 16, When 250 old boys and their friends attended.
