The Union Bank of Canada was absorbed by the Royal Bank of Canada in 1925, making all its outstanding notes liabilities that the Royal Bank was obliged to honor — a consequence of the merger terms negotiated under federal charter. Notes of this denomination from the final years of the Union Bank's independent operation were printed in relatively small quantities, and the $100 face value meant they moved through commercial rather than retail hands, typically among grain merchants and prairie wholesalers doing business out of Winnipeg.
The American Bank Note Company maintained a Canadian production facility in Ottawa, distinct from its New York operations, which handled much of the chartered bank work in this period.
