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.

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 cln•:srf bramthos. dtstr;ibuted throoteino Colt 5<:1 andTievtOau 101103 ,, Alzv 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. Missing Car is Located Noble Holland, owner of a fox farm between Clinton and Seaforth, had a long search before finding his car Re is in the habit of leaving his car at the roadway leading to his' farm- house where his daughter can get it to ,drive to school at Clinton each morning, arose to find the scar miss- ing. Later in the day it was found hitting in a snowbank on Ne. 8 high- way near Goderich, Two New Bridges Engineers planned for two nen? archways linking Canada and the IL S. in full view of Niagara Falls, while, the famous Falls View Bridge lay, a heap of twisted :steel, across the bot- tom of the :river. While International Railway Company officials announced' decision to replace the ruined bridge. immediately, .Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Ontario Minister of Highways, ;said another bridge was planned by Ont- ario and New York State about 1000 feet downsteatn from the Falls' Vie* - site. . 4 Greetings From South Africa • 1.
