Do you need money?

The early days of expanding post-war credit. I like the portraits of the various types of people to whom the bank of Montreal will lend money.

The text says:

The Bank of Montreal recognizes that in certain circumstances, the need to borrow exists for a labourer, a clerk, a professional as well as a business.

Every day, we give personal as well as commercial loans. We welcome the borrower (or borrow-euese :)) looking for personal credit, giving the easiest conditions banking regulations allow:

$3.65 only per $100 - with 12 equal monthly payments - nothing more.

You shouldn't hesitate to expose your needs with a manager of your local branch. All transactions are strictly confidential.
