Today the office forms part of the nation-wide system of Canada's oldest bank - the Bath of Montreal. As the Bath of Montreal - now in its 121st year of active and uninterrupted service hcls been identified with every phase of Canada's gr°owtlnsince the time when business was done by barter, so its local office has been part and parcel of the business and ag, ictzi ural life of Zurich during the 30 most important ant year.-.) of its development. BANK Established 1817 A MILLION DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS DENOTE CON-1DENCE ZURICH BRANCH - E. M. D.AGG, Manager Experienced Banking Service — The Outcome Of 120 Years' Successful Operation Observe 30th Anniversary 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 Brown'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 +`o 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- oyed by fire in 1924. During the summer 'af that year construction of the bank's present substantiel build- ing, on the same site, was carried out, giving to the village an edifice that • added to the appearance of the corner and to the bank an office that was specially designed for the pur- ,pose it was to serve. - The erection :.of the new bank buil- ding appears to have been the starter for several new buildings. Shortly after the bank was completed, Dr. A. J MacEle mon erected his fine drug store and residence just north pf the bank, and the Thiel building on the south side of the Zurich .road followed soon after. The disastrous fire of five years ago made a great change in the appearance of the main part of the village, and, with the . erection of Eckel's Bakery, Youngblat's Meat Market and Schil- be's store, one would hardly recog- nize the village of today when con- trasted with that of •1908 when the bank opened its .branch here. Several fine homes have been er- ected during those years and muddy roads have been replaced by surfaced streets in the centre of the village. A great many of the older business men and fanners have passed mined !a -younger generation has taken their ,?laces. Farming has been tirade eas- ier: with the advent of •batters and more recently the installation of. Hy- dro in the rural districts' has greatly lelpe l:•to make lite more pleasant. Through all these' ehangges the bank has at a'ti times kept pace, with a mod ern yet esiperienced eerviee, backed by the traditions and history of an ifetitution ref more than 120 years of successful operation. Today this local .ofiiocc of the Bank of Montreal is, a very intimate part of this active 'community and district. The bank was cpened by E. It, `y'oung;s, new tnanaget of the Fort iiu+aiich.

History of Parent Bank Behind the Bank of Montreal es an institution there lies a history close- ly interwoven with that, of the Dom- inion of Canada. In fact, its history began fifty years before Conzeaerati- on. It was on the 23r1d. 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 distinctionof being by far the oldest institution. of.' its kind :in British North America, and one pf the largest financial institutions in the British Empire. It also established' the beginnings of the Canadian bank -1 ing system. To realize the coarslitions• 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 tTpper 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 20,800. The development: of trade arad agriculture was hampered 'by lack of facilities for exchange. The country was too poor tea afford the luxury of a meallic circulating medium, and not only American, British and French, but also P'ortug- ese and Spanish coins were legal tender, and the ratios of exchange into colonial money of account were subject to frequent variations. As a consequence, domestic trade was car- ried on principally by barter, and international trade was on a very uncertain basis. . Such were the conditions when the Bank of Montreal began business on 3rd November., 1817, in modest rent- ed pl.ernises, with a paid-up capital of $350,009. Ix a very short time this Institution became the focal po- int of the business of the colony. It, provided a medium of exchange such as had hitherto been lacking, nursed along the early enterprises of the co- untry, and straightened out the diffi- culties of inter -urban, interprovincial and initeenalional trading: Everywhere as conditions have Ire- come ripe, the Bank has planted its brandies :for facilitating Me apicul- ture! development of the country, its intim res:taring industries, and its e mesal cornrnerce. 'r"`�rlay the Bank has aver five 3 'ns - d; et branches' distributed throttr*'iatet r' t^ , • and blie:ts;i<nux . i .I'o its .�.tl_w,l� ori'., rs,1n paid-up capital and reserves repres- ent a total in 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 capital, or by 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 situated 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, Bank where small accounts are wel- come, a Bank to which ell classes: can come with confidence in the se-• surity of deposits entrusted to its: care, and with :the assurance that ev- ' ery facility consistent with sound' (banking will be extended to those who seek its services. 44-0 Missing Car is Located Noble !holland, owner of a fox farm between Clinton and Seaforth, had a long search before finding his car 'He is in the habit of leaving his car at the roadway leading to his farm- ; house where his daughter can get it to :arrive to school at :Clinton each morning, arose to find the .car miss- ing.
