FIRST REAL; CANADIAN MONEY
Canada's ,frst dellar bills 'enter isisued by .the Bank •. of
Montreal which began bitheness in 18117. Up to that time,
only fereign currencies were in 'circulation in Canada, and a
as the country had money of its own, most domestic 'business
was 'done by barter.
The illustration on the $2 bill is believed to represent one
of .the steamboats, belonging to the Honourable John Molson,
that plied on the St. Lawrence at the time. Mr. Molson, who
was the most outstanding merchant of Montreal in -the early
part of the nineteenth century, was president of the Bank of
Moxrtreal from 1826 to 1834.

is carelessness the enemy within your gates? An upset
lantern may prove as disastrous as a fire bomb. Matches
where children can get them are as dangerous as a fire
maniac. Putting coal oil in the stove is akin to putting a
torch to your house. A car, truck or tractor driven on your
barn floor may reduce your buildings to "scorched earth,"
Safeguard life and property by practising every safety
measure. Don't set a lantern down, even on a window ledge,
but hang well up with a good strong snap. Keep matches in
metal boxes out of the reach of children. Don't revive a fire
with coal oil or gasoline. If you must drive a motor driven
vehicle on your barn floor, make sure that the floor is szvept
clean of everything flammable.
Life is dear—and buildings almost impossible to replace for
the duration. Furthermore, your farm is one of the food
baskets of the Empire—a vital cog in our Victory machine.
Fight to prevent fires, for your loss is the Nation's loss now.

BY CANADA'S QLDEST BANK
Bank 'of Montreal Strarted `Branch
Banking System - Gave •Canada
First Real Money • '
Important War Role
In Zernch Nearly 35 Years
Canada's ,oldest banking Institut-
eion - the Bank of Montreal' 'will
next Tuesday -Observe the completion
of 126 years of service to..thelpeople
of Canada. Founded in 1.8]:7; half a
century before ,Confederation , the
bank is today a nationwide instituti-
on with branchees from coast to,
coast..
When the Bank of Montreal came:
into being a century and a quarter
ago, .life in 'Canada was a rather pri-
mative affair. In those days, travel:
was by -Stage-coach and ox -cart, by,
canoe and sail -boat. No steamships'
head ever +crossed the ocean and the,
vokage by 'sailing -ship across the At-
lantic, even under favourable conal- •
_- 'tions, often took three months to ace
complish. There were no railways,,
and electricity and the telegraph we-,
re unknown.
In 1817, Canada as such did not.
exist. The country consisted of a
few thinly -settled colonies, whose,
population totalled something less
than 400,000.. Montreal, the chief •
trading centre, had a population of
less than 20,000..
Canada's First Real Money
At that time, Canada had no Cur-
rency of its own, and not only Am-
erican, British and French, but Span-
ish and Portugees money was in cir-
culation. Naturally, the ratios of ex-
change into .colonial money of ac-
count were subject to frequent varu-
ations, and as a consequence, domes-
tic business was on a very unstaple
basis.
It was in an endeavour to over-
come these 'chaotic conditions that
nine Montreal merchants bended
themselves together to establish t he
Bank of Montreal.Opening its
doors on November 3, 1817, the yo-
ung bank immediately set about the
business -of giving some semblance of
organization to the financial life of
the country, and its first task was the
issne of paper -currency - that is, the
bank's own bills in small denominat-
ions - and later, •popper coins. Speci-
mens of this ,currency - which was in.
reallity the first Canadian money -
are preserved in the bank's museumt
in Montreal.
fPhioneer
Since those pioneeringSpirit days when
the bank's officers travelled front,
branch to branch "at first safe oppor•
tunity," as old records say, to the
modern tunes of 1942, when travel
by train and airplane has made jou-
rneys a matter of hours when form-
erly they occupied several days.
Today, the bank has hundreds of
bran'chesc throughout' Canada .and
Newfoundland and its own offices in.
London, New Yor1s,..,;Chicego and,Sant
Francisco. The size of its capital and
reserves at $75,000,000 today stands:
in sharp 'contrast to the correspond.-.
ing 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 grawth and the assistance i t
has rendered toward the developm-
ent of the cauntry is the fact that it
now has more than. a million depos-
it accounts - About one in every 4
in the Dominion.
Bank's Special War -Time Service
..At the time of the bank's 100th
anniversary in 1917, Canada was at
war. Today, as the bank passes its
125th milestone, Canada is again at
war. Under the stress of war condit-
ions, the institution with its resou-
rces, its 125 years' experience and its
nationwide system of branches, is,
playing its -part in the nation's war
effort, just os it did 25 years ago. In
hundreds of -communities great and
small, the bank is working with Can-
adian industries and agriculture by
furnishing eredit and the many ese.
sential banking and financing servic-
es. Further, it is aiding the govern-
ment by promoting victory loan cam-. •
paigns, by the sale of war savings
stamps and -certificates and in other
war activities.
Bank Serves Local Community. -
For Nearly 35 Years
Just as the bank has served then
People -orf Canada without fail since,
its ;foundation in 1817, so ,for 34' Yrs. •
its Zurich office has endeavoured toy
work for the advancement of this
community. By reason of the servi-
ces it has rendered to the eople and
business inerests of Zurich, the
bank has .aided materially in the`
growth of its :trade and industry.
Since the bank opened, it Teas been
in the charge of a succession of cap-
able managers. These'men have been
assets to the community, not only -
through the manner in which they
have directed the affairs of its local'
institutions, but because of the part.
they have taken in community affa-
irs. E, M. Dagg, the present mana-
ges .of the office, was appointed in
1935Crich. and is well known in the die-
