THIS WEEKS CHANGES AT THE PEOPLES BANK
The friends Of Mr.. W. A. Faulkner
cashier Of the Peoples National bank, were
surprised on Monday by the announcement
that he had received and accepted an APP
pointment as cashier Of the Hide and Leather
National bank Of Boston. Mr.. Faulkner
closed his connection with the Peoples bank
on Tuesday and loft Wednesday night TO be-
gin work in his new place on Thursday. At
a meeting Of the directors Of the Peoples
bank held on Tuesday afternoon, when his
resignation was accepted, a resolution was
adopted, expressing in highly Complementary
terms the appreciation Of the directors Of
Mr. Faulkner's valuable services and attribut-
ing to his wise and skillful management in
large degree the success which the bank has
attained. Mr.. Faulkner began his life az
banker when a boy at Shelburne Falls, Mass.
He was afterward teller in hank in Chico
pee, and came from there to Brattleboro az
cashier Of the Peoples bank when II was or
ganized and opened for business years ago.
The bank then had two local competitors in
the field and It's way to make and it's business
paying regular 3 per cent semi-annual divi.
dends it now has a surplus Of 500 and
average deposits OF $50, 900. Mr.. Faulkner
has devoted himself with untring faithful
ness to the interests Of the bank, aud the sue
cess which has been achieved speaks for itself
OF his ability AZ a manager and huancier. As
a citizen he has commanded universal couh
dence aud respect, and the departure OF both
himself and wife is sincerely regretted The
Hide aud Leather bank TO which he goes is
one OF the old banks OF Boston With a CAPT
tai Of 81 900, 900, aud deposits OF about g.,
900, 600. It's cashisrship il place OF large
responsibility and we believe Mr.. Faulkner
will prove himself equal to all its demands.
At the same meeting at which NJ Faux
ners resignation was accepted NJ. Oscar A.
Marshall, the assistant cashier, was elected
oashier-a promotion which was deserved and
every way fit to be made. After some eight
years experience in the Vermont National
bank Mr. Marshall came to the Peoples bank
three years ago as assistant cashier, in which
place he has we'll proved his fitness for the
place to which he has now been chosen. lie
is 10 the best sense one Of the popular young
men Of the town, and commands, a. he de-
serves, the confidence Of both the bank Off
cials aud OF the public.
