While the thought of many Cana- dians are being centred for the noxt fewv months on the Dianîond Jubilee of the Confederation of the Dominion of Canada anothor wolll known financial institution at Bow- manville, the B3ank of Montreal, colo- brates its 70th anniversarv this year. Records show that while 1927 is tho seventieth anniversary of the bank's office in Bowmanville, the connection of the Bank of Montreal really dates back to 1848, w-hon the bank established at Bowmanville the first branch betweon Montreal and Toronto. Ia 1857, bowever, the Ontario Bank 'vas established ln Bow- manville, and a few years later, about 1860, the Bank of Montreal withdrow from the locality. The Ontario Bank held the field until the lSthý Octobor, 1906, when it was taken ov-1 or by the Bank of Montreal. The building which it occupies at present was the original Head Office of the Ontario Bank. It is interesting to note that dat- ing from 1875 up to the prosent timo there bas been only two managers at this hranch, namely, the late George McGill froni 1875 to 1904, and Mr. J. A. McClehlan, froni 1904 to the presont. On the 23rd June, 1817, nine mon- chants of Montreal signed Articles of Association for the establishment of the "Montroal Bank". This ac- tion rnarked the foundation of the Bank of Montroal, which today holds the distinction of being by fan the oldest institution of its kind in Brit- ish North America, and one of the largest financial institutions in the British Empire. It also established the oginnings of the Canadian bank- ing system. To realize the conditions wbich prevailed when the Bank first breught organized financing to the relief of that early genenation of Canadian business mon, it is necessary to doIve deeply into the history of the coun- try. The only organized portion of wbat is now the Dominion of Canada were the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada and the Maritime Provinces. Their whole population was less than 400,000 and that of Montreal, the chief trading contre, less than 20,0~00. The developrnent of trade and agri- culture was hamnpered by lack of fa- cilities for oxchange. The country was too poor to afford the luxury of a metallic circulating medium, and not only American, British and French, but also Portuguese and Spanish coins were legal tender, and the ratios of exchange into colonial money of account were subject to frequent variations. As a conse- quence, domestic trade was carried on principally by bartor and ex- change, and international trade was on a very uncortain basis. Such were the conditions whon the Bank of Montreal began business on Novemnber 17, 1817, in modest reat- cd promises, witb a paid-up capital of $350,000. In a very short time this Institution becamoe the focal point of the business of tho colony. It provided a medium of exchange such as bail bîtherto boon lackinv, aurseil along the carly enterpnises (if the country, andl straighteacd oeut thc difficulties of inter-urban, inter-pro- vincial, and international trading. Everywvbere as conditions became ripe the Bank bas planteil its bran- ches for facilitating the agricultural development of the country, its man- ufacturiag industries, and its general commerce. Today the Bank bas over six hua- dred branches distributed tbrougbout Canada and Newfoundland, wbile its paid-up capital andl reserves repro- sent a total in excoss of $60,000,0,00, and its assots amount to over $780.- 000,000. The value of the Bank to the country, however, is not to ho measured so mucb by the amount of its capital, or by the sizo of its dlvi- dends, as by the security it has giv- on to those wbo bave trusted it, the facilities it bas furnished for the ex- change and the incroaso of comme- dities, and the assistance it bas con- trihuted to the devolopment of the country. The Branches of the Bank of Mon- troal are situated alike la the largo business centres and la residential districts, la agicultural communities and la miaiag camps. Everywhere in Canada it is a factor la the life of the community. Today, notwlth- standing its influential connections it is essontially a Bank of the people, a Bank whemo small accounts are wel- corne, a Bank to which aIl classes can corne witb confidence in the socurity of doposits entrusted to its came, and with the assurance that oveny facility consistent With sound hank- ing will ho extended to those who seek its services.
