Your Directors, in submitting the .Annual Statement of the affairs of the
Bank as on the 31st December, 1910, with the result of the year's business.
beg to report that there has been a general substantial growth in every direc-
tion. A considerable increase in the net profits will be noted, owing to the
satisfactory conditions which have prevailed throughout Canada and the
steady demand for banking accommodation from all districts where we are
established.
For some time past the Board has had under serious consideration the ne-
cessity for the enlargement of our Head Office premises, which have become
quite inadequate to .meet the present needs of the Bank, without having regard
to the ordinary expansion of our business which may be expected in the future.
Endeavors were made to secure adioining lots, bur without success. In 1910
an opportunity arose for the acquisition of the land and buildings at the north-
east corner of Ding and Yonge streets -81 feet on King Street by 112 feet' on
Yonge street—and after due deliberation the purchase was completed. It is not
the purpose to hold both properties any longer than is necessary, and, when
a policy for building is decided on, your Directors have every reason to believe
that our present premises can be disposed of for an amount which will prac-
tically offset the recent outlay.
In addition, suitable buildings were erected last year for Edmonton, Moose
Jaw, and Notre Dame avenue, Winnipeg, branches.
These various disbursements have caused a considerable increase in Bank
Premises Account, but, following the usual policy, a substantial amount has
been written off.
A lot was purchased at Saskatoon, and it is proposed to erect a building
at this point and at Calgary during the current year. With the completion of
these buildings your Directors are of the opinion that no further immediate
expenditures for our Western Branches will be necessary.
It is the intention to erect offices this year in Toronto: .At the corner of
Dovercourt road and Bloor street, corner of Lee avenue and Queen street, cor-
ner of St. Clair avenue and Vaughan road, and the corner of Sherbourne and
Bloor streets, where we are already established in temporary premises.
A Branch of the Bank was opened in February last at the corner of St.
Lawrence boulevard and Prince Arthur street, Montreal.
The offices opened in 1909 aro making satisfactory progress, and already
justify their establishment.
In accordance with the By-law passed by the Shareholders at our Annual
Meeting in January last, the par value of the shares of the Bank was on Sep-
tember the lst changed from 550 to 5100.
The Directors, following their usual custom, have examined and verified
"the General Balance Sheet of the Bank as on the 31st of December, 1910, and
have checked and found to be correct the cash assets, securities, and invest-
ments shown therein. They have, in addition, given careful scrutiny to an
borrowing accounts.
The Branches of the Bank have been inspected in the usual thorough
manner during the year,

nted.
The thanks of the Shareholders were tendered to the President,. Vice -Presi-
dent, and Directors, for their services during the year, and to the General Man-
ager and other Officers of the Bank for the efficient performance of their re-
spective duties.
The following gentlemen were duly elected Directors for the ensuing year:

died away and staid old Belmore set-

After
La Grippe
"I had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. It felt as
though there was a heavy weight
on the top of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. .1 was so nervous that
I could not rest or sleep. When
I dozed off I would awake with
a sudden jerking of my whole
body. Dr. Miles' Nervine, heart
Remedy and Nerve and Liver
Pills cured me. A number of
friends have since realized the
same benefits."
MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS,
Seabrook, N. II.
The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.
Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine
should be taken for some time
to thoroughly restore nerve
strength,
