Local history books tell us that the first chartered bank in GEORGETOWN Ontario -- the long-defunct Bank of Hamilton -- was also the first such institution in 19th-century Halton County.
This 3" x 5" business postcard was mailed from there to the old Ontario Bank in Toronto during the spring of 1892. The postmark and bank name seen on the card's reverse side identify Georgetown, as does the name of the bank's manager, Henry Watson.
The Bank of Hamilton was established in Ge...orgetown during 1875 and remained there until its merger with the former Bank of Commerce in 1923. Its final location was 69 Main Street South near Mill Street.
A top notch collector's item, the card is very clean on both sides showing negligible wear from age/past handling.
