Trailblazer
Melissa Freeman joined Investor's Syndicate as the company's first female representative in 1932. She started her practice in Cranbrook, B.C. and worked as both an Advisor and District Manager over a successful 44-year career. She retired in 1976.
From dimes to dreams
Whimsical ads in the 1950s promoted a disciplined approach to saving, showing that contributing just a few dollars a week could add up to something remarkable.

In the early twentieth century, book safes were a popular way to save. Company representatives would visit clients’ homes monthly to unlock the safe and collect the coins to deposit into an Investors Syndicate instalment plan.
