<B>Clifton, CW- The Bank of Western Canada</B></I> $2 Sept. 20, 1859 Ch. # 795-10-08<BR> A beautifully engraved American Bank Note Company product. Unfortunately, the beauty of the note was in inverse proportion to its value, as the bank was controlled, as Charlton notes, "by a New York tavern keeper named Paddock, who convinced a respectable old gentleman in Clifton to act as president by paying for his stock. However, the president had no control over the issue of notes, none of which were redeemed." <B>Extremely Fine-About Uncirculated.</B></I><BR><I>From The Thomas M.
