~The true story of one small borrower
andMY BAMH'
A. few weeks ago, Julian Janvrin, an Englishman
by birth now living in Toronto, came upon this
headline in his daily newspaper: "Bank of Mont-
real Deposits Top the Three Billion Mark".
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-

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.
