ENTIRELY NEW Something entirely new in the in- terpretation of bank statements has been initiated by the Bank of 'Mon- treal this week, do reporting its fin- ancial position to •customers at the end .f its 134th year of operations. The B of M's message, highlighting the most significant aspects of its 1951 statement, present,, a striking departure fi: m the traditional patt- ern of Canadian bank reports. Strom, gly emphasizing the personal approa- ach, it is published as a signed state- ment from the local B. of M branch manager, C. C. McEachern. Headed "A Special Message from Your •B of M Manager,' the report is no Longer a bank statement in the ordinary sense of the word but a plain-spoken review of the main fea- tures of the bank's experience throu- ghout the past 112, months. Written in straight -forward, non-technical language and illustrated by approp- riate thumbnail sketches, the report represents a further advance in the direct "grass-roots" approach pion- eered illy the Bank of Montreal in its annual reports fur the, past seven years. • •In - the preamble of this humanized report, the local manager makes sev- eral down-to-earth comments upon the Canadian way of living. He emphasizes that the people seem to combine stability with a ge-a'head spirit and sums up the Canadian way of life in two words, "steady pro- gress." • Read this interesting adver- tisement very carefully. f ffl glad to report, is much im- Mrs. Fred Ducharm.e was a Sun- day last visitor with Mrs. Saran Geo- ffrey and family. Mies Therese Cantin of 1prescia Hall, London, was a Sunday visitor with her parents in St. Joseph.. Mr. Cyril Masse and Mr. Dugette of Detroit, paid a short visit to the former's relatives in this neighbour- hood the past week. Mr and Mrs. Henry, Denomme of Windsor were Sunday visitors with Mr and Mrs, Wm. Duch.arme Jr. A goodly number from this com- munity attended the St. Boniface Church f el Bazaar at Zurich on Ira div last, all reported a good time; and also the winning of valuable prizes. Had Ann:versar3, i Mr and Mrs Fred Duchaxme of thi: Blue Water Highway spent their 48th welding' anniversary quietly., at their home herd on Sunday het They were Liar: ied November 25th, 11103 and they recall the month was n1ec and summer like till the 23rd when sn-w flurries, accompanied by freezing rain set in for the day and the foll- o:wing one: They recall with vivid memoir, on their wedding day the snow that mingled with rain had put an icy surface on the roads, and at that time there were no fast unaving vehicles such as we have today, and it meant to us horse drawn vehicles, which was, due to slippery. roads, `Sleighs.' Honeymoons were also unheard of those days, but in the po- sition they found themselves it was the easiest way out. But that was onus- of a short dur- ation and on their return, due to snow blocked roads they were forced to stay in a neighbouring village till the next day before proceeding to their home. Within a stone's throw from their present residence. The Ducharme's recall that the following Sunday all roads were fil- led fence high and which remained till the late April of the spring 1904, Roads and highways that winter meant little to the habitants of thin parish. There were no wide roads, no snow plows to shift the snow; and to add to it all, the roads were narrow with either board or rail fences a- long the Nay and plenty of shrubs to r.,llect the snow. Due to the ex- treme cold and deep snow that win- ter people would travel with horse hooked on "Barba" on the frozen snow crust and there were no road line to follow, so to say(, they would travel too and fro as the crow flies. And that winter of 1904 perhaps one of the coldest one on record,and the deepest snow in the history' of this parish, it was greeted; citizens awaited cold winters, those that lived on the boarders of the Lake; from cold it meant ice would form and thy would fish; that was the only re- venue they had, the change was much needed for they were hard .prssed. Mr, T)ucharme recalls fishin . till thee r d of April, l , farmers would arise Jariy in the m. -ming to attend their sets and hooky. so that they ' eould ;till have time to till their soil t se- nding time. He also recalls that those lro took part in tent fishing, they euld walk a di..tance of about six rile, on the blue and there they , oun1 the lake had frozen to a d.1 -11:b 1 ZURICH HERALD _ "1"Pru.'tsda ,a IS oltiraae4.s. r; 2Ot1 951', Spee.1=_essap;e fpirn y ur B ....1.....i.". ��I ager0.a F r were asked to sum up the whole Canadian way of living in two words, rd' say: "Steady Progress": The people of this country seem to combine stability with • a go-ahead spirit. This approach shows up in most things we do. Take Canada's first bank — my bank. We have just finished' our 134th year, with assets of over two billion. dollars. Our Annual Statement is typically Canadian in that it tells off. substantial progress in terms of brass tacks rather than brass bands... Just three highlights will show you exactly what I mean DEPOSITS: Our 1,800,000 cus- „ _ tomers have $2,085,187,091 on ;� deposit at 572 B of M branches across Canada. Some of this money belongs to business firms and institu- tions, but more than half of it is the savings of everyday people. LOANS: Now at the highest year-end figure in the Bank's history, our loans amount to $646,368,336. Farmers, fishermen, ranchers and lumbermen borrowed a great deal from us, but we lent money to people in every walk of life and to business of every kind. .: ;1 At that, 'we had to cut down on many loan`s we would ordinarily have liked' to. awake;, in order to co-operate with the Government is measures which are designed to combat inflation and help gear up Canada's economy for the defence program. INVESTMENTS: At the year's end,. the B of M had $976,00,829 of its depositor? money inkested in high-grade government bonds and other public securities.. These were listed in the Bank's books at a figure not greater than their market value. Our ether" securities represented mainly shore -term credits to industry. The combined total amounted to $1108,174,362.. Like Canada, her first bank has gone on from strength to. strength in the past year. We believe in being strong because our main • job is to protect people's savings. And we believe in enccruragina, people to save more, too. In this, as in any other way we can, we are working with Canadians in every walk of life for the steady prog- ress that will give us all a stronger, happier country. r ��t sem `x CAMPBELL MCEACHERN, MANAGER,, ZURICH.
