WHY SAVINGS BANKS
ARE ESSENTIAL.

Because people having money to invest
are often tempted b. designing persons
to 90 into schemes which, while promis
ing large returns, usually bring disaster
Probably there are no more shrewd
far-sighted, conservative investors o.
money than successful life insurance
companies.
They employ expert men--men who
make the study of investments their life
work; who pass upon all applications fol
loans and investments; and it is a fact
which anyone can verify by getting the
insurance companies reports that four
TO five per cent. interest is all these com.
panies are able to make their loans
average.
Those schemers would 90 to unsophis-
ticated women or inexperienced men and
tell them that they could just as well get
six per cent. as four. well know that if
their schemes were solid, substantial and
safe, they could borrow money by the
million from these life insurance com
panies.
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust company of Hyde Park never
takes note paying over six per cent.
If any person brings paper to that
bank which win pay more than six per
cent, it turns il down, because it wants
no better evidence that it is dangerous
than the fact that it offers to pay more
than six per cent.
What is the result?
In its more than twenty-three years
OF existence, this bank has never lost
dollar by poor note.
Safety, rather than high rates of in
terest,' is its motto; and. knowing this,
depositors, not only from Vermont but
from every. state in the union Except
three) select the Hyde Park bank as a
place of deposit for their savings.
You can send your funds there by mail
with absolute safety, and it is perfectly
safe to send them either in registered
letter, postal money order, bank draft,
personal check, or express money order.
During the entire existence of the
HYDE Park bank not a dollar sent to il
by mail has ever been lost.
This bank pays four per cent, com
pounded semi-annually, and pays all
taxes.
If you want to know all about its
assets, liabilities, management, etc, ad-
dress letter TO Carroll S. Page, presi-
dent. or F. NJ. Culver, treasurer, Hyde
Park, Vermont, asking therefor, and you
will receive prompt reply.
