The Bank of Montreal works constructively and conservatively for the protection of its depositors and the comrnynity as a whole.
Because the Bank has, for more than a cen- tury, endeavoured to do this, it has come to be regarded throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion as a sound, safe and friendly institution.
Make the nearest branch your banking-head- quarters — a place to which you can go regularly to transact your banking affairs, to obtain information, and to discuss with the Manager your plans and problems.

The Bank Of Montreal niirtieth Anniversary Day
The Charlottetown branch of the Bank of Montreal tomorrow ob- serves the 30th anniversary of its establishment. this following close- l the 120th anniversary of the flaunding of the bank which occur- red on November 3rd.
Thé local branch, which began operating on November 14th, 1907, is noteworthy in the bank's history as the completing link in the chain of branches, which from the bank's founding in 1817, had slow- ly but steadily spread from coast t0 coast.
Business in Charlottetown was commenced in temporary offices in the Masonic Building, but early in i908 construction of the present bank building was begun. Solidly built of Prince Edward Island freestone when completed in March 1009 it was regarded as one of the finest buildings in the city. With ample accommodation for clientele and staff, this building has long since been a centre of local financial activity.
When the bank began business 30 years ago the Island was isolat- ed both in appearance and outlook; transportation to and from the mainland was confined to steamer service between Point du Chene and Summer-side. On the Island it- eon- nected the latter point with Char- lottetown. The daily ferry service between Borden and Cape Tor- mentine. the change from n“- row gauge to standard tracks and the daily plane service from here to Moncton emphasize the progress that has taken place»
It has been, also, during the past three decades that fox farm- ing has made such strides to be-' come one of the most important broncllés in the business activity of the province. and that the fame of this local industry spread far beyond local borders
As the Island has progressed so the services of the Bank of Mon- treal have moved forward, provid- llll; an experienced banking ser- vice that has operated in the best interests of the entire district.
It. is interesting to recall, on this occasion, a bit of Prince Edward Island history that is probably unique in the annals of Canadian banking. This concerns the opera- tion. about 1840, of the Bank of Rustico, an institution with a cap- ital of £1,000, Halifax currency. A thrifty ‘farmer was its sole stock- holder. the president, general man- ager and tel‘er of the bank. Speak- ing of thi. institution. an old re- cord says, “It frequently happened that a customer had to go out to iii.- field and bring the cashier away from the tail of the plough!" As a“ example of rugged inde- pendence and initiative it would be difficult to exceed this bit from the Island's history

Confederation. It was on the 28rd of June. 1817. that nine merchants of Montreal signed Articles of As- sociation for the establishment of the "Montreal Bank." This action marked the foundation of the Bank of Montreal, which today," holds the distinction of being by far the oldest institution of its kind in British North America. and one of the largest financial in- stitutions ln the British Empire. It also established the beginnings of the Canadian banking system.
To realize the conditions which prevailed when the bank first brought organized financing to the relief of that early generation of Canadian business men, ll; is necessary to delve deeply into the history of the country-
‘Iihe only organized portions of what is now the Dominion of Can- ada were the provinces in the Marltimes and those in Upper and Lower Canada. Their whole popu- lation was less than 400,000 and that of Montreal, the chief trading centre, less than 20,000. The de- velopment of trade and agricul- ture was hampered by luck of facilities for exchange. The coun- try was too poor to afford the luxury of a metallic circu atlng medium. and not. only American. British and French, but also Port- uguese and Spanish coins were legal tender, and the ratios of ex- change into colonial money of ac- count were subject to frequent variations. As a consequence, do- mestlc trade was carried on principally by barter,
certain basis. Such were the condition when the Bank of Montreal began busi-
ness on 3rd November, 1817 ,in modest rented premises, with a paid-up capital of $350,000. In a
very short time this institution be- came the focal point of the busi- ness of ‘the colony It provided a medium of exchange such as had hitherto been lacking, nursed along the early enterprises of" the coun- try, and straightened out the dil- flcuties of inter-urban, inter- provincial and international trad- lng.
Everywhere as conditions have become ripe, the bank has planted its branches for facilitating the agricultural development of the country, its manufacturing in- dustries. and its general commerce.
Today the bank has over five hundred branches distributed throughout Canada and Newfound- land, while its paid-up capital and reserves represent a total in ex- cess of $75,000,000 and its assets amount to over $800,000,000. The value of the bank to the country, however. is not to be measured so much by the amount of it: capital, or by the size of its dividends. as by the security it has given to those who have trusted it. the facilities it has furnished for the exchange and the increase of commodities, and the assistance it has contributed to the development of the country.
The branches of the Bank of Montreal are situated alike in the large business centres and in residential districts, in agricultural communities and in mining camps. Everywhere in Canada it is a fac- tor in the life of the community. Today notwithstanding its in- fuential connections it is essenti- ally a bank of the people, a bank where small accounts are welcome. a. bank to which all classes can come with confidence in the secur- ity of deposits entrusted to its care, and with the assurance that every facility consistent with sound banking will be extended to those who seek its services-
