And growing smaller with every breakthrough in communications! As space is mastered ... capitals converge ... frontiers draw to­ gether ... far-off shores move in just a little closer. The nearer Valparaiso is drawn to Vancouver, the greater its attraction for the Canadian businessman. That's why, in a world grown smaller, the Bank of Montreal had to grow a little larger. To serve the Canadian businessman, we have blanketed Canada with over 925 branches. We maintain offices in the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Mexico and Japan ... through an affiliate, Bank of London & Montreal, Limited, we offer a network of offices throughout the Caribbean area .. and banking corre­ spondents in every civilized country complete our global span. Anywhere you name, we can serve you through our International Organization. Try us-you' ll find there's nothing small about the comprehensive services made available to you.
