The Barton Savings Bank & Trust Co.

The Monitor notes by the advertise
ment of the Barton Savings Bank &
Trust Company in this issue that it,
resources have reached over the mil
lion dollar mark and the deposits al
most 81 900, 000-to be exact 1888, 552.
This shows an exceedingly healthy
growth of the institution since it's
founding in 1897. At the end of the
first year the books of the bank
showed deposits of less than $4,000
and the most sanguine stockholder
never dreamed that in few years
the bank would be million dollar
institution. The bank is officered by
men of long banking experience, who
have carried out the policy so far as
possible of investing the money held
in trust by them in Orleans county
and Vermont. AS a trust company
the bank is now enabled to act as ex-
ecutor, administrator or guardian,
transmit money by telegraph and is.
issues it's own foreign drafts, and the
business being done in these lines is
constantly increasing.

for future work.
1t was stated that over $400, 900 was

miles of highway in the state. Mr..
Gates spoke in most pointed and
effective way against the way in which
