G. Frye, local Mana- ger, told the Richmond Hill Liberal today. The .original bank in Thornhill was the Sterling Bank of Canada, was opened on May 8, 1906, and managed by Basil Walker. This was the first branch opened by the Sterling Bank after commencing busin'ess at its Head Ofiice in Tor- onto. That bank was later taken over by the Standard Bank in 1925 and still later became part of the Qommerce system in 1928. Thorn- hill has therefore had 45 years' continuous banking service. Two of the present currrent account customers opened their accounts within the first few days after the branch commenced business. The oldest savings account which is still active was opened on May 1‘4, 1906. One of the former managers many people in the town will remember was W. L. Schafer, who was Man- ager for nine years from 1940 to 1949. Mr. Schafer is now retired and living in Toronto. His son is also following in his father’s foot- steps and is located in one of the city branches of the COmmerce. Mr. Frye showed us an interest- ing booklet recently prepared by his Bank. Entitled “It's Simple Wren You Know How’, the booklet dEaIS with banking from the woman’s point of view. It explains several points of every-day banking prac- tice and tells about the many ser- vices the Commerce ofiers its wom- en customers. This publication is most informative, and our readers are invited to request a copy at the Bank. A series of booklets has also been published on agri- cultural subjects. Deeigned to cultural subjects. Designed to bridge the gap behveen|agricultun ‘al theory and actual f rming prac- tice, these will be 0 interest to every farming family in the com- munity. Mr. Frye has copies for the asking. “Should your readers have any banking matter to discuss’, Mr. Frye mentioned, “we will be happy to see them.
