"Molsons Bank.
Since the day in May,
1898, when its doors first opened to the public, Simcoe's branch of the Molsons Bank has
enjoyed a rather meteoric career. For a period of 21 years the affairs of the bank were
under the management of H. H. Groff, whose able guidance was
in large part responsible for its rapid growth. In 1919 Mr. Groff retired from active
participation in the banking business, and was succeeded by the present manager,
M. M. Smith, who is maintaining for the institution the
reputation it has won as the largest and most flourishing country branch bank in
Canada. It is just twelve years since the capacity of the bank was doubled by means of alterations
and improvements about the building. The staff has been increased from three to in number
in 1898 to eighteen at the present time."
