A Unique SAVINGS Bank

The Bradford Opinion believes that
the unique position of the Hyde Park
Savings bank. in investing all its
funds In Vermont, promotes safety. 1t
says:
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust company holds somewhat
unique position in Vermont banking
circles. It's slogan is Vermont money
for the upbuilding of Vermont indus
tries. The principle is carried out so
thoroughly that every cent of the
banks funds is invested in Vermont.
and the bank has never lost a dollar
on a poor note following this policy
This is one answer to the cry that
there is no chance to invest money at
home.
The banks policy has been for safe
investment rather than for high rate
of interest and on the eleventh of this
month the assets of the bank passed
the million dollar mark. Neither the
policy nor the success of the bank is so
strange when we know that Hon. Car.
roll S. Page, of calfskin fame, is the
banks president.
This bank pays per cent compound
ed semi-annually on deposits of 500
or more.
