A depositor at the B of M since shortly after his arrival in Canada five years ago, Mr. Janvrin was prompted by the headline to write a letter to Gordon R. Ball, president of the B of M, e o 6 outlining his experiences as both a depositor and borrower at Canada's first bank. We thought Mr. Janvrin's story of his struggle against adver- sity was worth repeating, and with his permission, have made it the basis of this advertisement. The Success Story of Julian Janvrin.. Julian Janvrin is the last person in the world to say that his is a success story. We think it is. But you can judge for yourself. FIVE YEARS AGO, shortly after his arrival in Canada with his wife and three children, Mr. Janvrin had occasion to cash a cheque at his local B of M branch in Toronto. "Although I had told the manager that I was just an immigrant," he recalls, "he invited me to open an account, and it was gratifying to me to feel that my confidence in the future of Canada was reciprocated by the Bank of Montreal. Two or three weeks later I opened an account at that branch." Like most newcomers to Canada, Mr. Janvrin had only enough capital when he arrived to get himself settled, and eventually he found himself short in meeting the final payment on his car, which was essential in his new job as a salesman. So he talked over his problem with his B of M manager, who considered him a good enough risk to advance him the money he needed. But let Mr. Janvrin continue the story in his own words: "I mention this because bankers are sometimes charg- ed with being little more than moneylenders and usurers, but in this instance, 1 knew that the Bank of Mont- real was acting as it were on behalf of the people of Canada in helping me to get established in much the same way as in pioneer days the Bank of Montreal must have advanced funds to immigrants to purchase seed, a few implements and maybe a team of horses. "Soon afterwards 1 gave up selling, disposed of the car and took a regular j ob by night, r while my wife by day quite literally 1 took the holes out of doughnuts. One of us was able always to be with the children, two of whom were not then of school age. An average Canadian fancily, Mr. & Mrs. Janvrin and the two younger children relax at TV in their comfortable Toronto apartment. "Fifteen months later we decided to obtain cheaper rental accommodation outside Toronto. A car, however, would then be essential. Again the bank went along with us. "Two years ago the landlord of the house we were renting de- cided to sell the house. Again the Bank of Montreal helped us and advanced the down payment that prevented our home being sold over our heads. "This summer my son, having passed through six grades in three years at public school, sat for the competitive entrance examination to a school for which I would have to pay an annual fee .. . For this, too, I am in large measure indebted to the Bank of Montreal, for in June my financial cir- cumstances were such that had I not been confident of my banker's support, I might not have ever considered sending him to this school. "We have now again moved into Toronto to be nearer the school, but our circumstances have improved, inasmuch as our teenage daughter has now left high school of her own wish and is now working; and as the two younger children are now at school, my wife in the New Year will be in a position to take an office job. "This is not a success story, for the struggle, believe me, is still on. But our bank account is now in better shape than it has been for the past five -years and will now perhaps bear scrutiny. "1 am now, therefore, at last in a position to write to thank My Bank and in particular my bank manager, for the confidence it placed in us and for the help, en- couragement and courtesy it has always extended to us. "Get to know your banker," says Mr. Janvrin. "Your best collateral is his confidence." A spare - time free-lance writer, he spends many evenings at his typewriter while the children study. "To me it is no surprise that the deposits of the Bank of Montreal should have topped the 3-billionmark, for although from the short term point of view I myself am not yet in a posi- tion to make large deposits, it may well be from the long term point of view, that my son, as a representative of the coming generation, may be in a position to do as other sons of Canada are now doing." The B of M is, of course, proud to have played its part in Julian Janvrin's success story, and is grate- ful to hint for allowing us to publish it to in- dicate some of the many ways in which Canada's first bank works with Canadians — new and old alike — in every walk of life from coast to coast. Mr. Janvrin's story provides a sincere and unso- Nine-year-old Robert Janvrin, ,ween with his younger sister, Patricia, is a student at one of Canada's top preparatory schools, thanks to a timely B of tot Personal Loan. licited testimonial to the fact that "When you ask for a loan at the Bank of Montreal, you do not ask a favour". When money is a problem with you, why not see your B of M manager? If your proposition is sound and reasonable there's money for you at the B of M ... at the lowest rates and on the fairest terms.
