History
The Bank of Canada, incorporated in 1858, became the Canadian Bank of Commerce in 1867. It took over several smaller banks including the Gore Bank in 1869 and the Standard Bank of Canada in 1928. In 1906 Sir Edmund Walker, 1848-1924, chairman of the bank, took a tour of western Canada, during which he took these photographs. Many of them feature bank buildings built by the Commerce and its competitors. In 1961 the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the Imperial Bank of Commerce merged to form the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
