done at this time is from the tops OF

most painstaking and diligent in

THE PROSPERITY OF
SAVINGS BANKS

Hon. F. c. Williams, our State
Bank Examiner, has recently CIV
en- us a most fattering showing in
regard to the growth of our Yer
mont Savings Banks. He says the
increase during the past year has
been the largest of any year in the
history of our Savings Banks-in
round numbers, $1,000, 900.
The people of our little common
wealth have not only been wonder
fully prospered during the past
year, but they have been laying
aside some of the fruits of that pros
perity for a rainy day.
Go back six years, to 1907, we
find that the total deposits in all the
Savings Ranks in Vermont on the
first day of July of that year were
S57,444,2o4.48; on the first day OF
July, 1913, they were S87,o2o,7o4. &c
a gain of more than s. per cent il
the six years-a most encouraging
showing
A few of the more prosperou:
Banks in the State show a much
higher percentage of gain. For in
stance, the Hyde Park Saving
Bank on the first day of July, 1907
had s844,I58.34 in deposits: ST.
years later, on the first day of July
1913, those deposits had increased
practically three-fold-to be exact
they were on that date S2,523o22.7
Had the growth in deposits in al
the banks in the State increased il
the same wonderful ratio as tn
Hyde Park Bank, they would hav
today amounted, in round numbers
to one hundred and seventy million
