In the district called Ropitza an eld-

Fortunately my companion, like my
self. was uninjured. and we set to
work to repair the damage and assist
the plungIng and terrified ponies to

The DeerfieId Valley
Tines Opinion of the Hyde
Park Savings Bank

Ex Governor Carroll S. Page be
lieves in the liberal use Of printer )
ink, and as result the name Of Page
and the little village Of Hyde Park, are
household words throughout the civ
ilized world
Nineteen years ago Mr.. Page con-
ceived the idea Of savings bank the
prime object Of which would be to
keep Vermont money in Vermont by
investing only in Vermont industries
and developing Vermont enterprises,
The idea was a success from the
srart; people have faith in Mr. Page
and his conservative business methods
This faith has been justified by the
fact that in the whole course OF its
business history the Lamoilc County
Savings Bank has not lost one dollar on
poor note, nor has it at present a
dollars worth of poor or doubtful
paper
Mr.. Page believed the business had
greater possibilities, and applied the
plan that had won him success in his
hide industry to his savings bank idea,
and began liberal campaign OF ad
ycrtistng
This plan drew criticism from GER
tain quarters, but it also drew depos-
its, and in the six months that have
elapsed since this campaign OF advcr.
Using started nearly quarter Of mill
lion dollars have been added to the
deposits Of the bank.
The best evidence that man can
do thing is the fact that he does it.
TX Governor Page had only to make
the people understand that he could
invest their money at home, with good
security for every loan. and where
such security could be personally ex-
amined by the bank officials, and the
thing was accomplished.
Ex-Governor Page has built up a
business in hides that is admitted to be
the largest Of its kind in the world
He has established a savings bank, that
il the present ratio Of increase in de-
posts continue, will make Hyde Park
famous for its savings bank as well as
its calfskins
He has accomplished both these
things in a litde village in Northern
Vermont, far from the great money
centres, far from the realms Of fren-
zied finance. This could only be
accomplished in one way: Carroll
Page believes in advertising,

And he has gained much tainted coin

And 50 It goes, from day to day,
