Old Money from The Commercial Bank of Manitoba in Winnipeg

The Commercial Bank of Manitoba was only open in Winnipeg from 1885 until 1893.  It originally started as a reorganization of McArthur, Boyle, and Campbell, which was a private bank in Manitoba.  McArthur signed all bank notes from The Commercial Bank.  The bank closed thanks to liberal lending policies and a run on the bank.  See our guide below for more details about paper money from this institution.
