INTRODUCING A BANK MANAGER

[Welland Telegraph, 7 January 1908]

We are pleased to introduce to Welland G.S. Moore, the newly appointed manager of the Royal Bank in Welland, and we feel we can do this best by reprinting a despatch to the Halifax Chronicle from Amherst, N.S.:-

Amherst, Dec. 30- The very many friends of G.S. Moore, manager of the Royal Bank of Canada here, will regret to hear that as soon as he is sufficiently recovered from a severe attack of peritonitis, from which he has been suffering, that he is to remove to Welland having been appointed to the management of the royal there.

During Mr. Moore’s stay in Amherst, something over  two years, he has made many friends and has done much toward building up the large business of the bank numbering among his patrons some of the very best business and private accounts in Amherst. As a bank manager he has proved himself a man of exceptional ability, and business men generally will regret his leaving.

Mr. Moore and the family will also be greatly missed having mad many friends during their stay here. Welland, to which place, Mr. Moore goes, is one of the growing towns of Ontario, and like Amherst is a centre of industry, there being something over 3000 mechanics employed in the different industries. Being in the centre of the largest natural gas belt in the world, and only twelve miles from the largest electrical power plants in the world, the industrial advantages are exceptionally good, and while Amherst regrets the removal of Mr. Moore, they will wish him the same success in the new sphere as had attended him in Amherst. It is not known who will succeed Mr. Moore in the Royal Bank.
