Lucknow Branch Established In 19Q5
Canadian banking, now an integ-
ral part of life in Canada as one of.
the world's "best banked" nations,.
marks its 150th birthday this. Friday,
November 3; •
It was on. November 3, 1817,: that
the first office of any bank was
,opened• by the Bank of Montreal in
the area of the old walled city of
Montreal, with a staff of'seven and
,capital of $150,000. Canada as We
know it did not exist; Confederat
ion was half a century in the future;
George :111 still sat on the "English—
throne; the 'Battle of Waterloo was ,`
just two years past.
The B of M's Lucknow'branch,
opened• in.1905,, this week joins in
observing the 150th, anniversary Of
a system which now embrances all
Canadian provinces and territories
and extends to a number of other'
countries
First branch of the B. sof M. was, ..• .

established in'Quebec City a few
Weeks,after the opening of the orig-
inal Montreal office. It was the
forerunner of the present network
of some 6,•000 offices of the chart-
ered banks, more that. 1,000 of
them B of M branches.,
Equally important, to the develop-
ment of the countryas a whole was
the. B'of •M's immediate provision
of banknotes - Canada's first .real
money when it opened for 'busin-
ess in 1817. In. 'the; months. before,
engraving of the printing plates had
been one. of the urgent matters
arranged .for the opening. It also
provided the first Canadian Coin
age when it introduced "bank
• tokens" in 1836 ' -

'office of. Molsons Bank,, which later
merged with the Bank of • Montreal.
Since its establishment, the 'bran
ch has occupied the same building;
which waserected in 1880:; Periodic
modernization programs.have been
carried out to ensure that facilities
kept abreast of :modern banking
standards.
The Bank of Montreal's present
359 -branch, network in Ontario is
directed by Edward A , Royce,; sen-;,
for vicerpresident , Ontario division.
