The Bank of Montreal was the dominant commercial bank in Canada at the time of this issue, and its high-denomination notes carried real weight — a hundred dollars in 1914 represented roughly two months' wages for a skilled tradesman. The timing matters: Dominion of Canada notes and chartered bank notes coexisted under the Bank Act, and private chartered banks retained their right of issue until the Bank of Canada absorbed that function in 1935.
The American Bank Note Company operated a Canadian plant in Ottawa, so production here was genuinely local rather than contracted abroad — a distinction worth making given how often ABNC work on Canadian material is assumed to have originated in New York.
