are important to American manufac- 

 turers, merchants and agriculturists — 

 particularly those of the great Middle 

 West — who believe in America's present 

 opportunities for commercial greatness 

 and who desire to profit by it. 



FOR years these facilities have kept pace 

 with the demands for foreign banking 

 service. Under the pressure of new and 

 increasing demands they have been ex- 

 panded and now include the complete 

 facilities of the Mercantile Bank of the 

 Americas, the Asia Banking Corporation 

 and the Foreign Bond and Share Com- 

 pany, in which a substantial ownership 

 interest is held. 



THESE affiliations, together with long 

 established connections with 5000 for- 

 eign banks, provide customers of the 

 Continental and Commercial Banks with 

 unusually prompt and convenient means for transacting banking business 

 not only in the big commercial centers of Europe, the Americas and the 

 Orient, but in the remotest places of trade throughout the world. 



Participation in financing foreign loans enables these banks to perform an 

 important fundamental service for increasing American Foreign Trade
