What Does A Bank Mean To You?

Friendly Neiqhbour

Stop and think how close a neighbour a bank really is.

And how friendly and useful a neighbour. You can use it

to cash a cheque, make a deposit, pay a bill, obtain a loan, and perform other

banking jobs. A bank is as essential to the welfare and progress

of your community as the local drug and grocery stores, church, school, police andiire

stations. Over 500 branches of The Canadian Bank of Commerce

serve you in cities, towns, villages and hamlets right

across Canada. You can consult our local Managers any time.

Since that time she has skillfully managed to make an expert job of a career and a marriage.

Wessie will be missed by her numerous friends, who appreciate her loyalty, her generosity, and her keen sense of humor, manifested at timesin pungent criticism.
