ZURICH S .a is
Canada's Oldest Bank
The Zurich Branch of the

1 908 - February 14th -
Zurich welcomed the estab-
lishment of its first permanent banking office. Today
the office forms. part of the nation-wide .system of
Canada's oldest bank the Bank of Montreal.
As the Bath of Montreal - now in its 121st year of
active and uninterrupted service - h s been identified
with every phase of Canada's growth since the time
when business was done by barter, so its low office
has been part and parcel of the business and agrierfLural
life of Zurich during the 30 most important years of its
development.

Zurich "Herald", Feb. 10, 1938
The Bank of Montreal --Canada's
first permanent Bank—next Monday
observes the thirtieth anniversary of
the establishment of the local office.
This branch was opened on Febru-
ary 14th, 1908, by the former Mol -
sons Bank (now for many years
part of the Bank of Montreal) in a
building previously used by the old
Soveriegn Bank. Located on Victoria
street, in the store now occupied by
Brawn's shoe shop, the site was not
very satisfactory, but at the time of
opening was the only one available,
In the fall of 1910 the bank moved
to the Merner Block, a large building
owned by the late Johnathan Merner
in which he :operated a general store.
The east part of this building was
converted into a banking office which
served until the building was destr-
ered a record of some kind, but now oyed by fu'e in 1924. During the

History of Parent Bank
Behind the Bank of Montreal as an
institution. there lies a history close-
ly interwoven with that of the Dora
inian of Canada. In fact, its history
began fifty years before Conzecrerati-
on. It was on the 23nd. of June, 1817
that nine merchants of Montreal
signed Articles of Association for the
establishment of the "Montreal Bank"
This action marked the foundation of
the Bank of Montreal, which today
holds the distinction of being by far
the oldest institution: of its kind in
Brutish North America, and one of the
largest financial institutions in the
British Empire. It also established'
the beginnings of the Canadian bank-
ing; system.
To realize Mie conditions• which
prevailed when the Bank :first bro-
ught organized financing; to the relief
of that early generation of Canadian
business men, it is necessary to delve
deeply into the history of the country
The only organized portions of
what is now the Dominion of Canada
were the Provinces of Upper and
Lower Canada and the Maritime Pro-
vinces. Their whole population• was
less than 400,000, and that of Mon-
treal, the chief trading centre, less
'than 30,900. The develapmmnt• of
trade and agriculture was hampered
by lack of facilities for exo'hange
The country was too poor for afford
the luxury of a meanie circulating
medium, and not only American,
British and French, but also Portug
rise and Spanish coins were regal
tender, and the ratios of exchange
into colonial money of account were
subject tc frequent variations As a
consequence, domestic trade was car-
. rled cm principally by barter, and
infinrnationnal trade was on a very
uncertain 'heeds%
flitch were the conditions when the
Rank of Montreal began business an
feeal November, 1817, in modest rent-
ed pr.emisee, with a paid-up capital
or 8350,008. In a very ehort time
this freetitution became the focalpo-
int of the businesq of the colony. It
provided a medium of exchange such
as bad hitherto been lacking, nursed
along the early enterprises of the 'co-
untry, .arut straightened out the diffi-
culties of inter -urban, interprovincial
and international trading.
Everywhere as conditions have be-
come ripe, the Bank has planted its
,branches for facilitating the agricul-
tural development of the country, its
manufacturing industries, and its•
geT1"Pl commerce.
T-
,,, rl<ty the tank low over five hrrrr

paid-up capital and reserves repres-
ent a total lin excess of $75,000,000,
and its assets amount to over $800,--
000,000. The value of the Bank to
the. country, However, is not to be
measured so much by the amount of
its tapital, or iby the size of its ,divi-
dends, as ;by the security it has given
to those who have trusted it, the fac-
ilities ih has furnished for the exch-
ange and the increase of commodites,
and the assistance it has contributed
to the development of the country.
The Branches of the Bank of Mon-
treal are sitaaited alike in the large
business ,centres and in residential
districts, in agricultural communities
and in -mining camps. Exerywhere
in Canada it is a factor in the life
of the community. Today, notwith-•
standing its influential connections it
is essentially a Bank of the people, a.
Bank where small accounts are wel-
come, a Bank to which ell classes:
can come with confidence in the se -
merits" of deposits entrusted to its
care, and with the assurance that ev--
ery facility consistent with sound
lbatuking will be extended to those
who seek its services.
