OI Canadian Bank History

By FOIIBEB RIIUDE Candles Press Business Editor

Some "books on banking" and some currency were two oi the simple needs of the Bank of Nova Scotla when it was established in Halifax in 1882.

The hank-now one of Canada's great financial institutions-this year is celebrating its 125th anni- versary and. to mark the occa- sion, is recalling its early history.

The need for "books on bank- Ing" was obvious enough because. though the institution was founded by a group of successful Halifax business men. they were not ex- pert in banking as such. in fact, there seems to have been only limited literature on the stdileet anywhere.

The need for currency was part oi a general problem of the times. For Nova Scotia. in 1832. was In an expanding phase. and the pur- chase oi goods from abroad tended to drain away Its supply oi cash.

Accordingly. a letter to the bank's agent in New York in-

doubloons." lie was Impressed with the "absolute necessity of; this money being at Halifax he-I fore the bank can commence op-, eratiuns." E ' BOOKS A PROBLEM

This was in June and the banki opened in August. so presumably it got its currency. Books were perhaps a greater problem. for the New York agent wrote back: "I have been stile only to pro cure Goddard's publication on banking. as wall as the charter of the Bank of New York. but it is not an easy matter to get at the particular management of in- stitutions of this sort. I think I shall be able. however. to get
