The Kind of a Savings Bank for
Vermont.

The Brandon Union thinks that the
Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Company typifes the kind OF Bank
which VermOnters should be interested
in. 1t says:
On July IL the assets of the Hyde Park
Bank passed the $1,00O,O00 mark
Bear in mind that this is an all Vermont
institution. not dollar OF its capital IS
or ever has been invested out of Yer
mont and it holds the enviable record of
never having lost dollar by poor
note. An institution of this kind is, Of
course, of great value and convenience
to Vermont and Vermonters. If an
individual or corporation has assets and
needs cash they can get it, and at low
rate. The average depositor wants his
money where it is absolutely safe and
also where he can get it on call.
Commencing January, 1908, this bank
will pay a per cent compounded semi.
annually on all deposits large and small
alike; will pay taxes on all sums up to
$4,000, and will issue pass-books with
no limits as to times of withdrawal OF
other restrictions or limitations save
those common to all Vermont Savings
Banks. Deposits made on or before Feb.
18th will draw interest from Jan. 1st,
those after Feb. 18th from April 1st
