HURON 'VICTORY LOAN COMMITTEE 125th Milestone Reached by Canada's Oldest Bank. In Clinton Over 63 Years. Canada's oldest banking institutio —the Bank of Montreal—will nex Tuesday observe the completion 125 years of service to the people o Canada. Founded in 1817, half a cen tury before Confederation, the ban is today a nationwide institution wit branches from coast to coast. When the Bank of Montreal cam into being a century and a quer er aog, Life in Canada was a rathe primitive affair. In those days, tray was by stage -coach and ox -cart, bi canoe and sail -boat. No steamshi ever crossed the ocean and th voyage by sailing ship across the Al lantic, even under favorable condi tions, often took three months to a complish. There were no railway and electricity and telegraph were un known. In 1817,Canad a as such did not exist. The country consisted of a few thinly -settled colonies, whose popu- lation totalled something less than 400,000 Montreal the chief trading centre, had a population of less than 20,000. n on the settlement spread out, the t bank opened branches to facilitate of the agricultural development of the f country, its manufacturing industries - and its general commerce. k PIONEERING SPIRIT h Since those pioneering days when the bank's officers travelled from. e branch to branch "at first safe op- t- portunity," as old records say to the ✓ modern times of 1942, when travel by el train and airplane has made journeys y a matter of hours when formerly they p ocucpied several days, the history of e the Bank of Montreal copiously dem- t- onstrates the pioneering spirit of Can- - ada's bankers. c- Today, the bank has hundreds of s, barnches throughout Canada and New CANADA'S FIRST REAL MONEY At that time, Canada had no cur- rency of its own, and not only AnIeri- can, British and French, but Spanish and Portugese money was in circula- tion. Naturally, the ratios of ex- change into colonial money of account were subject to frequent variations, and as a consequnece, domestic trade was carried on principally by barter, and international business was on a very unstable basis. It was in an endeavour to overcome these chaotic conditions that ' nine Montreal menccanta banded themsel- ves together to establish the Bank of Montreal. Opening its doors on November 3, 1817, the young bank im- mediately set about the business of giving some semblance of organiz- tion to the financial life of the count- ry, and its first task was the issue of paper currency— that is the batik's ll own, bills in small denominations -- and and later, copper coins, Specimens of this currency—which was in reality the first Canadianmoney—arepreser- ved in the bank's museum in Montreal. HELPED ORGANIZE TRADI•NG•, Besides providing a medium of ex- change such as had hitherto been lack- ing, the bank nursed along the early enterprises of the country and did much to .straighten' out the difficul- ties of internationah as well as inter- urban trading. In the achievement of this; one of the most important factors was the creation of the branch banking sys- tem, which was a part of the bank's policy from its inception. It had es- tablished itself in modest rented pre- mises only tivo' weeks when it opened an agency in Quebec city. Eight months later in June of 1818, agents were appointed in; Upper Canada at Kingston, which wet then important as a garrison town, and at. York, as Toronto was then known, which, with" a popualtion of 1,000 was -an outpost for lumbering and the fur trade industries which 'formed the only ba- sis of the export business of the country.. Thus it was everywhere through- out the country. As the years went. foundland and its own offices in Lon- don, New York, Chicago and San Francisco. The size of its capital and reserve at $75,000,000 today stands in sharp contrast to the corresponding figure of a century and a quarter ago, when the bank began business with a capital of $350,000. Perhaps a more graphic indication of the bank's growth and the assistance it has ren- dered toward the development of the country is the fact that it now has more than a million deposit accounts— about one in every four in the Domin- ion. BANK'S SPECIAL WAR TIME SERVICES At th e time of the bank's 100th an- niversary in 1917, Canada was at war. Today as the bank passes its 125th milestone, Canada is again at war. Under the stress of war conditions, the institution with its resources, its 125 years' experience and its nation- wide system •of branches, is playing its part in the nation's war effort, just as it did 25 years ago. In hun- derds of communities great and small, the bank is working with Canadian industry and agriculture by furnish- ing credit and the many essential banking and finaneial services. Furth- er, it is aiding the government by pro- moting victory loan campaigns, by the sale of war savings stamps and certificates and in other war activit- ies, V Bank Serves Local Community for 63 Years Only Six Different Managers at Montreal Bank Just as the Bank of. Montreal has served the people of Canada without fail since its foundation in 1817, so for .over 60 years, its Clinton office has endeavoured to work for the, advancement of this community. By reason of the services it has rendered to the people and business interest of Clinton, the bank has aided ma- terially in the development of the town and of its trade and industry. Canada's oldest banking, institut- ion the Bank of Montreal - will on Tuesday, November 3rd observe the completion of 125 years of :service to the people of Canada. Founded in 1817, half a century before Con- federation, the bank is today a nat- ionwideinstitution with branches from b coast to coast. u THITh S., OCT. 29, 1942 Jim• Says CAN B: .DONE Jim finds times hard.

"We're on rock bottom: Just can't find thel money!" He's thought some more since. And he's de- cided it can be done.
