Sterling Bank of Canada

Long Island Mike asked about the Sterling Bank of Canada:

The Sterling Bank of Canada existed from 1905 to 1924. It merged with The Commerce in 1928.

In the early years, it issued bank notes like this (see thumbnail).

St. Jamestown. 15,000 people on 32 acres. According to my calculations, that equals 120,000 people per square kilometre, making this one of the most densely populated areas on the planet. And they're adding 1 more building.

Yorkville and Yonge. Looks very quaint now and will look even more so when the new Four Seasons goes up a few doors down.

Maybe it doubles as a Montana's.
