One hundred and twenty-ii" years ago - on November 8 1817 -Canadlan.s were provided with their own real mane for the first time. Up to that ate flfitlftbi- 1y all domestic business ad been done by barter for, although money was not unknown in the Canadian colonies. the currencies that were in circulation formed such a weird variety-Spanish and Portuguese as we] as British American and French - and the varying rates of exchange were so bailing. that the colonial trader of those early days experienced constant difficulty in the conduct o1 his business affairs. As a consequence. such foreign trade l! existed was on a very unstable

basis.

It was to ameliorate ditlons that the Bank treal was founded. ed fill‘ business on ivovembe 1817. the bank made available to the trad- ers of the colonies a truly Cana- dian currency with which they could transact their affairs with some degree of stability. This money was issued in the form of bills in small denominations and.

Beyond Upper Can- ada m west there was no settlement. Practically unknown men, the great western prairie! were peopled almost exc usively by Indians who hunted Emil-l herds of buffalo.

Canada in those day! ‘will l land still very much in the mak- ing and the colonists had tremen- dous obstacles to surmount in their endeavours to develop the country.

later, copper coins which were known as tokens.

Thus was Cairadafs banking system born and the country's bus- iness life placed on a sound and orderly basis. Since that day a century and a quarter ago, the Bunk of Montreal has carried on without interruption; in other words through peace and war, through booms and depressions, through panics and olitical up- heavals, never has a usincss day passed without the doors of the bank being open.

Beginning with a staff of seven in modest rented premises. the institution has grown, working day by day with citizens in ever‘; walk of life and with business concerns large and small, unzll today-iwith a staff six thousand strong - it serves the Canadian people through hundreds of branches from coast to coast.

Important War-time Role

when the bank was founded. George III was still on the throne and Britishers everywhere were still feeling that sense of relief taht came with the victory of Wat- erloo which two years before had brought an end to the exhausting Napoleonic wars. Since that time, the institution has lived through the troublous times of many wars —tti.e Crimean War the Indian Mutiny, the American Civil War, h Fenian Invasion of Canada. Afghan War, the Sudan War and the South African War. The First World War was at its height when the Bank of Mon- treal reached its hundredth an- ilversary in 1917, and today, as 1t asses its 125th milestone, World Nar II is in its fourth ar. ‘Fhroughout the last war the ank rendered lnavluable services to Canada. ‘mday, those services — more complicated and more exten- slve-are being performed, not only gin Canada. but in Britain and the United States as well.

Communic tion Very Restricted

When the bank began business, communication between the vari- ous ccnirrs of settlement was a sketchy affair. The difficulties of travel and cununuuclation prevail- ing for a lung time after the bank was established are illustrated in the comments of the late James Croil. who camc to Canada in 1841, and who for 60 years was a shareholder of the bank.

_ In speaking nt the annual meet- ing 111 1907 1\Ir. Croil said he made the voyage to New York 111 40 days, their — in 1841 — ac- counted "a fast voyage for an irn- migrant ship.”

“The journey from New York," said Mr. CYOll, “took four days, for We did not rrnvcl by night. The inst stage was the rickety railway from St, Johns to Laprairie, then the olny passenger railway in Canada . . .

"Canada: he said, “was then in many respects a tcrra incognita consisting or half a. dozen pro- vinces knowing about as much of each other as they did of till South sea Islands, Wltll differing laws, tariff and currency. Tne postage on a letter from Ontario to Halifax was 2s/3d."

Stagecoach Travel

In 1817. the centres of popula- tion “lire not only sma 1, but very widely separated, considering the means of travel Montreal. the chief trading cen- tre, was n community of something less than 20000 people. The nearest settlements of any size were Kingston and Quebec, each roughly 175 miles distant, and gourneys to these points occupied

rom two to three days by sta coach exceedingly roads.

Such difficulties did not pre- vent intcrcommunicaticn however, although references in the early minutes of Bank of Montreal meetings to journeys being made "at the first safe opportunity" make it quite clear that trips to Quebec, Kingston or York, as Toronto was then known. were not assignments to be undertaken lightly.

And thus the bank expanded step by step. developing its ser- vices and organization to meet the young and growing country. Diu-ing the 1840's the spread of its branches became ex- tensive and offices sprang up at Bytown, as Ottawa. was then at. Amherstburg, St. Thomas, Belleville. St. Ca-tharines Cobourg, Brockville London and Hamilton. Later the bank's or- ganization moved eastward and
