The Banner Savings
Bank Town of
Vermont

On the 4th day of October, 1912,
there we're 7o2 depositors in the Hyde
Park Savings Bank Who resided in
Hyde Park and the aggregate of their
deposits was more than quarter of a
million dollars-or, to be exact, $25I,-
o8I. 5o-and the population of Hyde
Park at the last census was only 1853.
If there is another town IN the State
of its size that can make such a won
derful showing we would like to know
it, and we will cheeriully give that
town free notice commenting its
thrift.
Think of it This means that near
ly every other, or second, man, woman
and child, infant, youth, middle-age
and aged person in Hyde Park, 7o2
out OF 1853, has an average deposit in
the Hyde Park Savings Bank of $751;
GO.
There is only one conclusion to be
drawn from this fact and that is
that the people of Hyde Park, who
know all about the men who manage
the Hyde Park Savings Bank, have I'M
limited faith and confidence in them.
They know, from close contact with
them and as their nearest neighbors,
all about their habits, characteristics,
idiosincracies business abilities, cOnser-
vatism and banking methods, and they
show their implicit faith in these man
ayers by bestowing upon them mea-
sure of confidence and trust which is
very rarely found. We doubt if par
allel can be found anywhere.
These home depositors know that
| S0fetU, and not high rates OF inter
est obtained at far away points, is the
uniform and unvarying motto OF their
home bank and believing its managers
to be absolutely trustworthy and safe
they make this bank the custodian OF
their spare dollars. OF course the
fact that the bank pays four per cent.
and pays all taxes is very tempting, but
no more so than to depositors in
other towns.
Nobody knows you quite so well as
your near neighbors. If they have
faith in you it is usually because you
are entitled to their confidence.

The Banker and Tradesman in re-

CAN this talk about reducing the cost

down to this: that the individual

five acres of land in Newington, and
will divide it into fve-acre farms which
will be given to young married couples.
With each farm will go COW, pig and
forty hens. The husband will have to
be employ ed in one of the nearby cities,
and the greater care of the farm will
fall on the wife. In selecting the
young couples especial care will be
taken in selecting ones where the wife
has the proper farming instinct.

The few people who witnessed the
act of the young man who saved Mrs.
Frank w. jackson of Liberty street,
Barre, as she was in danger of being
burned to death last Saturday say that
the deed of young Ernest Sprague was
about as remarkable display of presence
of mind they ever witnessed and done
withal as if it were a matter of course.
Mrs. Jackson had run out of the house
crying for aid and two women neigh
bors rushed to her assistance and tried
to eXtinguish the flames with broom,
but all in vain. Just that moment a
milk team was driven around the cor
ner into the street, and the driver, see
ing the terrible plight of the woman,
reigned the team up to the curb and
without wasting a second in thought
over the course to pursue, grasped a
large can of milk from his cart and ran
to the place where the two women
neighbors were frantically trying to
battle with the upcreeping flames,
doused the endangered women with the
entire contents of the can; saw that the
work was successful and, without max
ing arv remarks, returned to his team
and d. I'VE along as if nothing out of the
usual run of his days work had been
done. And yet, a minute more, and
the flames would have done their deadly
work Barre Times.
