The Monarch Sugar Tool Factory.

A visitor to the busy town of
Newport inquiring as to her indus
tries, will be shown with pride one
of her recent Developments which
IS already one of substantial benefit
to the community.
This is the Monarch Sugar Tool
Industry, established and developed
by True & Blanchard company, for
the past Is years the hardware ana
sporting goods people Of Newport
In the year 1893 they began in
very small way the manufacture of
the Monarch evaporation and arch,
and in this continued to supply the
local demand for several years
During this period the Monarch
hauling tank, storage tank and
bucket cover were developed, and
manufactured in the same conser-
vative way.
Even with this moderate output
the Monarch Sugar tools came to be
talked of among the sugar makers of
Orleans county as superior to
other goods then on the market
The evaporator because of rapid
evaporation, economical use of
fuel, simplicity and ease of hand
ling, the hauling and storage tanks
because of their strong construction,
low pattern and improved features,
the storage tank being absolutely
self supporting a feature first intro
duced in the Monarch.
It was in the fall of 1907 follow
ing an exhibition of the full Mon
arch line at the Orleans county fair
! in competition with all the other
| prominent lines or the market, that
True & Blanchard Co. really dis
covered for themselves the superior
ity and strength of their Monarch
line. About this time they began in
! the construction of all arches,
smoke pipe, ETC., the exclusive use of
a high grade of galvanized iron
doing away entirely with the use of
black ron.
In the spring of 1908 the demand
for sap buckets heing greater than
usual and being unable to obtain
more from the factories they again
resorted to their own resources and
began to experiment with Band made
] galvanized iron bucket, and made
that season 1900 of a design and type
differing from any other on the mar
l ket. This feature of the Monarch
line was success from the very first
sale. Those who tried the new
Monarch being so enthusiastic that
preparations were made to make
/ 10000 for the following season, but
so great was the demand that 10 ),
/ 600 We're made and sold The fol
lowing season $4,000 were disposed
of and this season the sales exceed
300 & and a good many orders viii
apparently have to be turned down
None of these buckets are marketed
through dealers but ale all sold dir
ect to the consumer. They are made
non wedging, (Pat. Applied for) arr
made of one piece body, with ex
pansive bottoms, are painted will
a handsome red band top and bot

tention.
In 1909 the Monarch business hat
outgrown it's old quarters and {
large two story factory was secured
on the Canadian Pacific railroad ant
here the larger part of the manufact
uring is carried on.

To Savings Bank Depositors.

The Lamoille County Savings
Bank & Trust Company of Hyde
Park, Vermont, will receive your.
deposits on the most favorable terms
consistent with safe and conserva-
tive banking.
Among the many reasons why you
may properly give this bank the pre-
ference in choosing place for de-
posting your savings it suggests the
following
FIRST-The bank is Vermont in
stitution. Aside from it's deposits
in reserve cities, it has never loaned
dollar upon notes which were not
either secured upon Vermont proper
ty or had a strong Vermont guaran-
tor.
SECOND.-In its more than %
years of existence it has been so
painstaking, conservative and careful
in the investment of funds placed
within its keeping by confiding
public that it has never lost a single
dollar by bad note.
THTRD.-It pays four per cent. in
terest, compounds semi-annually
without action on the part of the de-
positor, and pays all taxes on de-
posits, whatever the amount of the
deposit may be.
FOURTH-Its managers are men
known to the people of the state as
ultra conservative in matters of in
vestments- who never speculate
on Wall street or own speculative
stocks of any kind.
FIFTH. Absolute safety and not
those high rates of interest which
can be secured by taking chances, has
ever been the guiding principle of
this bank. It never owned a note
upon which it received more than six
per cent. interest.
SIXTH.-It has now passed the
Two Million Dollar mark in assets, a
fact which speaks louder than words
of the faith and confidence felt by the
people of Vermont in this strictly
home Savings Bank. No other Saw
