A Strong SAYINGS Institution.

The strength of Savings Bank de
ponds not alone on the size of its deposits
nor the number of its depositors. 1t de-
ponds rather upon the kind of securities
in which the management invest their
funds and the care with which these Sc
curities are looked after. The Dandy
Mirror evidently thinks these conditions
are well met in the Hyde Park Savings
Bank. 1t says:
Beginning July list, the LamoilIe Coun-
ty Savings Bank and Trust Co. of Hyde
Park, VT, will pay four per cent interest
on deposits remaining in its care for a
year or more. This is a particularly
strong savings institution, and during its
existence has invested the money OF its
depositors wholly in the state and has
never lost a dollar. Hon. Carroll 8.
Page, one of the most able business men
in Vermont, and the states honored ex-
Governor, is president of the bank-the
kind of president who knows at all
times how the affairs Of the bank are be-
ing conducted, and is ever active in pro-
noting its interests and protecting its de-
positors against possible loss.
