The following is quoted from a Monte
video, Mimi. letter, as showing loyalty to
native old Vermont, and as a bit of tinan-
cial interest: zone OF our business men,
banker, who has an abstract of titles for
Chippewa county, asked me if l was from
%ndham county, Vt OF course | gladly
sid, Yes He further questioned What
70 the people do there? They all seem to
be money lenders. Where to they get so
much to loau2 he said in working out
abstracts of titles he found that there was
more money loaned by Windham county on
Minnesota farmers than by any other
county in the country. ! remarked that
they saved what Westerners would throw
away, which was one reason why they were
money lenders, rather than because they
were millionaires
