This is THE MARK OF A NEW AGE!
That big, bold Sweep -Sight Windshield —
curving back to vertical corner posts — is
easy -to -see evidence that Chevrolet has
cast aside the tradition of the past to start
a whole new age of low-cost motoring. -
It's smarter. to look at — safer to look
out of — and it's only part of Chevrolet's
new outlook for '55!
Yes, Chevrolet brings you a whole
new outlook in low-cost motoring
for 1955 ! It's •best symbolized, we
think, by the sweeping expanse of
windshield that widens your view
of the road and lets you "see
through" the corners for greater
safety.
The car with the new idea!
Besides widening your view of the
road, the Motoramic Chevrolet
broadens the whole horizon of the
low-priced car. It was built around
the idea that a car doesn't have to
be high-priced to look, ride and

perform like it. A lot of time and
sweat went into the building. A lot
of old traditions went out the win-
dow because they didn't measure
up to this daring new concept.
Trust Chevrolet to have the re-
sources and the skill—yes, and the
courage—to break so completely
with the past.
Everything's new in Chevrolet!
Everything — from its tubeless
tires to its lower top. There's new
beauty with that long, low "let's
go" look ! New fun underfoot with
the new "Turbo -Fire" V8 and the
new "Blue -Flame" six I A new
choice of drives—new Overdrive,
Super -Smooth Powerglide (extra -
cost options), and new standard
transmission ! A wonderful new
ride! New High -Level ventila-
tion! But we can't even begin to
give you the whole story here.
Look who's stealing
whose thunder!
Chevrolet's stealing the thunder
from the high-priced cars in more
ways than one ! Come in, drive it,
and you'll see why the Motoramic
Chevrolet starts a new and excit-
ing age of low-cost motoring. This
you're going to love!

Hurondale W.L Meets
Various items of business were

the home of Mrs. Alvin Moir. The
Institute is sponsoring the Milky
Way project. The leaders, Mrs.
Arthur Rundle and Mrs. Bruce
Tuckey attended the training
school at Clinton February 3 and
4. -Mrs. Hugh Love reported for
the Ladies' Auxiliary to South
Huron Hospital, Exeter. The Insti-
tute plans to arrange the program
ad serve lunch at the Auxiliary
meeting March 2. Mrs_ Archie
Morgan, Mrs. Hugh Love and Mrs.
Alvin Moir were named a com-
Ata press conference, Mr. A. C.
Ashforth and Mr. William Kerr,
President and General Manager re-
spectively of The Toronto -Domin-
ion Bank, advised that all details
of amalgamation had now been
completed and the combined insti-
tution is in active operation.
The new institution becomes the
fourth largest of Canada's char-
tered banks with assets in excess
of one billion, one hundred mil-
lions, and a branch network which
provides an excellent national cov-
erage from Halifax to Victoria.
Commenting on the amalgama-
tion they had the following to
say: "Both banks were built on
a policy of close personal service
to their customers and the policy
of the amalgamated bank will be
to continue to provide that•type of
service, broadened to include new
features made •possible by its
greater facilities and financial re-
sources. It is not anticipated that
any branches will have to be dos-
ed immediately as a result_ of ov-
erlapping of territory and if ev-
entually closing occu>�•s at a very
few points this will only happen
after a very careful study of the
situation to ensure that our bank-
ing service to our customers and
friends will not be impaired. Thus,
personnel are assured of the
maintenance of their positions in
an • enlarged institution in which
there will be greater opportunities
for advancement.
"No action is required on the
part of customers to ensure con-
tinuance of existing banking ar-
rangements, as the amalgamated
bank is assuming all the assets
and obligations of The Bank of
Toronto and The Dominion Bank.
Present loan arrangements con-
tinue unchanged. All existing
transactions remain valid, as well
as cheques, money orders, travel-
lers' cheques, letters of credit, and
other directions issued upon or by
the amalgamating banks. Pass
books, cheque forms and other
forms of The Bank of Toronto and
The Dominion Bank will continue
to be used for the time being. New
forms will be introduced gradual-
ly as present supplies are exhaust-
ed."
Head Office of the amalgamat-
ed bank will be the former Bank
of Toronto Head Office at King
and Bay Streets, Toronto. Execu-
tive offices and certain depart-
ments will be housed there with
the remainder being located in the
former Dominion Bank Head Of-
fice at King and Yonge Streets.
The Board of Directors of the
new bank will be composed of the
boards of the predecessor banks.
Its chairman will be Mr. B. S.
Vanstone, formerly the President
of The Bank of Toronto, and Mr.
Robert Rae, formerly the Presi-
dent of the Dominion Bank, will
be vice-chairman.
The amalgamation is unique in
Canadian banking, inasmuch as it
brings together two institutions
who grew to prominence on their
own efforts entirely, neither ever
having taken over or merged with
another bank . The Bank of To-
ronto was awarded its charter in
1855 and opened for business in
1856. The Dominion Bank was in-
corporated in 1869 and began op-
erations in 1871.
Previous bank fusions in Ca
ada, of which 12 took place -
tween 1917 and 1931 and -------- ne
since, were invariably by way of
purchase and sale. The Toronto -
Dominion Bank was not brought
into existence by this procedure,
but by a process of amalgamation
made possible by the 1954 Revision
of the Bank Act.
Such process required the ap-
proval of the Minister of Finance
which was granted as already an-
nounced on November 1.. There-
after the approval of the share-
holders to the amalgamation Was
sought and obtained at the annual
meetings of the two banks, and
the Governor -in -Council gave his
sanction on February 1.
As provided by the amalgama-
tion contract, shareholders of The
Dominion Bank will shortly re-
ceive one new share in substitu-
tion for each share now held.
Bank of Toronto shareholders will
get four shares in the new bank
for every three now held. As
fractions of shares cannot be is-
sued, those which occur as a re-
sult of the conversion will be set-
tled in cash.

WATERLOO
Cattle Breeding Association
"Where Better Bulls Are Used"
THE USE OF OUR BULLS WILL ASSURE YOU THAT:
Your young stack will have the inherent ability to produce be
they beef or'dairy. The good producers make more dollars.
Your young stock will not have inherent undesirable charac-
teristics. Special attention is paid to this in the bull selection for
Unit use.
Freedom from the danger of handling a bull. Several people
are lulled or hurt each year on Ontario farms by bulls. Insemina-
tors are not dangerous.
Freedom of the danger of spreading disease. Unit bulls are
tested for many diseases and are under very strict health rules'.
A good way to spread infection is the neighbourhood use of a
bull. Inseminators are trained to disinfect boots between farms
and use a new disposable breeding tube for each cow.
Your total breeding costs will be lower. No capital invest-
ment in 'a bull is required and there is no risk of death loss of
sires- The estimated cost to keep a bull on the farm is $200.00
to $300.00 per year.
Yon will have accurate breeding records.
During January, 1955. we had a 16.6'1 increase over January,
1954, or 479 cows.
