MOLSON'S BANK TO B
BY THE
A despatch from Montreal says:—
The last of Canada's "family!' banks
is to: disappear in thetaking over of
the Masons Bank by the, Bank of
Montreal, announced in an official
etatement, The Molsons Bank, found-
ed in Montreal over 70 years ago, has
been in the hands of the commercial
and financial family group of that
name since then.
The absorption of the Molsons Bank
by the Bank of Montreal is, of course,
subject to the , ratification by share-
holders of both institutions, but there
will not likely be any difficulty in se-
curing it from both groups. The'Act-
ing Mindsfer`of' 2+'in'nnce, Hon. J. A.
Robb, has approved the transaction.
The absorption of, the Maisons Bank,
one of the smaller banks of tate Do-
minion, by a stronger bank has been
expected on the street for some time
where it was regarded as a natura{
course of events. A testimony to the
stability of Molsons, however, is to be
found in the terms of; the absorption,,
the Bank of Montreal giving two
shares of its own stock fors three of
Molsons and a bonus re $10 for every
share of Molsons. The shareholders
of Molsons will also receive their
quarterly dividend, due January let, P.
next. '
The list of Canadian chartered
banks is reduced to 12 by the passing
of Maisons, as compared with,. 18 at
the beginning of 1922:
Absorption of the Molsons Bank by
the Bank of Montreal is the thirtieth
bank amalgamation to take place in
Canada since Confederation, and
leaves only 12 chartered banks now
operating in the Dominion,
Bank amalgamations in Canada
from Confederation to the present

Canada's winters are one of her
great natural resources. The winters
that prevail over the greater' portion
of Canada lock up for practically the
entire period • from harvest to seeding
time the fertility present in the sell.
The plant food thathas been con-
verted into available farms during the
preceding summer and autumn and
which is left over after the season's
growth is retained for the next .sees
sone; crop. The frost holds tight
within its graspuntold values in plant
food, ' In regrows, where winter condi-
tions are absent this soluble plant
food is lost by leaching and must be
replaced largely by artificial fertilizer.
The Canadian winter must therefore
be regarded as an agricultural asset
of no mean value.
Anyone who, gives thought to the
effect of the bracing winter atmos-
phere upon the health of the people
must recognize its value in the rear-
ing of a. vigorous and active populace.
Canadians are proud of their winter
sports, 'skating; hockey, skiing and
tobogganing, which male the blood
course rapidly through .the veins and
tiring the bloom to the cheeks of the
younger people, while those of ,more
miatttre years find their winter reorea-
tion. in curling.' Canadians notwith-
standing, that others may •think differ-
ently, do not hibernate when whiter
Wme5. '
Canadian winter sports are a dis-
tinct asset and,are proving an attrac-
tion: to many tourists, who -come to
enjoy with us our winter climate and
take part,•in our winter activities and
to renew the energies depleted -through
residence in countries where the 're-
cuperatieg winter climate is absent.
