Do you ask, Where can do this and
have my money absolutely safe ?" Let
us give you some facts. The Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. of
Hyde Park is an institution run on the
following principles -
LIST. Not dollar is loaned without
the personal knowledge of some one of
the Board of Directors that the loan is
safe beyond question.
ID. 1t is run as n home institution
Every dollar is loaned in Lamoille and
adjacent counties, and every worthy en-
terprise in the vicinity of the towns
whence the deposits of the Bank come,
is fostered and encouraged in preference
to other investments, so far as it can be
done with absolute safety.
Sd. Under no circumstances is a dol
lar invested in any western mortgage or
other charlottesville security. We
might perhaps pay our depositors one
half of one per cent. per annum more
interest by mourning a little additional
risk, If no loss should come, but we
believe there is to-day a elong felt
want" in Vermont for a savings institu-
ton which will loan its funds at home.
1t is needed that Vermont may not
become impoverished. It is needed for
the building up and fostering home in
situations. Vermont towns will not
boom without money any more than
towns beyond the Mississippi and in
Alabama. 1t is needed for the greater
safety of the savings of widows and or
phans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of thu
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagementt TO our neighbors
who prefer to occupy western fields we
offer to the depositing public the La
noble County Savings Bank and Trust
Co. as an institution organized to meet
the demand for strictly home inUestment
Savings Bank. That such a demand ex-
lists, and that the people are ready to be-
stow their confidence and encourage
ment upon such an institution, is evil
denced by the fact that the aggregate Of
the small deposits alone in this bank
not counting any i'm excess Of $1,000
were at the end of the first six months
of its business. S57, 1860, a record
without parallel, we believe, in the
history of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th. Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over 6per cent. Itwould
not, knowingly, make an Investment
which would pay over 8 per cent. The
safest class of loans aud securities will
command money at 6 per cent. The
Bank pays the State tax of six-tenths
of per cent. on deposits in lieu Of all
taxes to the depositors. II must then be
evident that per cent. per annum is all
that the Bank can SAFELY PAY. This
rate it will pay. II is guaranteed and
rests on no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi-annually if not
withdrawn.
