A History of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, With an Account of the Other Banks Which Now Form Part of Its Organization, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

The end of 1918, however, is so strongly marked as an epoch in history that its selection seemed a matter of course. A gain, as the year 1918 drew to its close the bank reached its goal of a rest or reserve fund equal to its paid-up capital and recommenced that development which had been interrupted by the Great War. The next chapter of its history is still in the making. In the preface to Volume I of this work I have said that chapter III of this volume had been written by Mr. P. C. Stevenson, of Ottawa, and chapter VII by Dr. A dam Shortt. The diagrams illustrating various aspects of the growth of the bank are the work of the banks archivist, Mr. H. O. E. A sman. Through the kindness of the Department of the Interior I am able to include maps of the Yukon district illustrative of chapter III. In the first volume I referred to the burden of editorial supervision which fell upon Mr. A. St. L. Trigge, and I cannot allow the second volume, which contains the history of the Canadian Bank of Commerce itself, to appear without again bearing witness to his share in the work.
