ONTREAL, with its flittering
domes and spires resplendent
of the old order, its chimneys
and warehouses indicative of
its active commercial life, its massive
Public institutions, its many churches,
mod er n b u i I d i n gs a nd homes with its
esthetic, commercial, religious and home
life blended in harmonious whole, situated
beside the gleaming waters of the St.
Lawrence — offers to the Tourist a veri-
table treasure-house of historical interest.

Nowhere in North America can be
found such charm, such romance, such a
strange mixture of the old and the new
as in Montreal.

Dating from i^o — the earliest days
of its history, embracing the expedition of
Jacques Carticr up the St. Lawrence,
which resulted in the establishment of
the Town of Kochelaga (now part of
Montreal) and the naming of the
mountain us Mount Royal from which
the name of Montreal is derived ; the
landing on the 18th of May 1642,
of Maisonneuve and his little band of
religious enthusiasts upon the^pot where
the Montreal Customs I !ouse was after-
wards erected, and planted in the words
of the saintly Dumont ' A grain of mustard
seed destined to overshadow the land";
through to the days in 1672 when streets
were first regularly laid; withstanding the

ear I y t cr r< >r s a nd a 1 a r ms w i th the I nd ia ns ;
the Seven Yrurs war whid 1 .il't cr a Ion;.;
and trying struggle resulted in the
Treaty of Paris and the definite placing
Of the Colony in 1 763 under the flag of
Great Britain, is the fabric from which
Montreal's history is woven.

And so that the thousands who yearly
travel from far distances to this City of
incomparable attractions may sec every-
thing, may not miss one single point of
interest, B RAM SONS have carefully
arranged a series of trips by automobile
busses that cover everything, short travels
in very comfortable automobiles that
unfold by sight, the interesting, long-
to-be-remember ed story and history of
Montreal.

Long experience, plus an unusual de-
gree of willingness to serve, has won
for BRAMSONS an enviable reputation,
for no City in North America can boast
of a sight -seeing service better than that
to be found here.

Not only the alluring attraction of
man-made sights is to be seen on these
trips, bur Nature s .mv,U handiwork —
the beautiful Island of Montreal— pictur-
esque to an unusual degree, is traversed
and shown in all its glory.

Complete details of BRAMSONS all-
covering, all -seeing trips about Montreal
will be found clearly tubulated on the
last page of this souvenir booklet.
