WHAT MAKES A SAVINGS
BANK SAFE AND STRONG?

The answer to the above question
is this: A Savings Bank is Strong
and safe if its directors are men of
character, integrity, temperance,
sound judgment, sufficiently pains
taking and conservative in the ex-
animation and approval of all its in
vestments, and last, but not least,
men of long and valuable experience
in banking
So far as we know all of Yer
mont's Savings Banks are we'll con-
Quoted and prosperous but there is
one institution which seems to have
become an especial favorite with
the depositing public-the Hyde
Park Savings Bank.
The one important reason for
this is that the people of Vermont
have come to know that every
member of the Board of Directors
of the Hyde Park Savings Bank IS
safe, substantial, responsible bust
ness man, entirely free from every
tendency to speculate, gamble or
take any but the most conservative
risks.
Thousands of the people of Yer
mont have been having business
dealings with its President for more
than half century. They know
his conservative, cautious, pains
taking business methods. They
know the business way in which he
treats every financial proposition
and they have come to trust him
implicitly as safe custodian of
their savings.
The proof of this statement is
found in the phenomenal growth of
the Hyde Park Bank. Here are
the figures showing the increase of
deposits in that bank during the
past seven years.
On July I, 1907 the
deposits were S844,I58.34
On July I, 1914 the
deposits were 2,654,27o.67
In other words, the deposits were
three times as large July Ist, 1914
as July 1st, 1907 and SI2I,7o5.o:
over. We doubt if these figures
can be duplicated in the history Of
any country Bank.
Today the Hyde Park Bank i:
recognized as the largest bank il
the world located in a village of it:
size, an honor which reflects grea
credit on the Green Mountain State
and because this is so Vermonter
everywhere take pride and pleasur
in contributing, by their deposits
: to the upbuilding of this enterpris
ing, strong, popular institution.
Banking by mail IS now regarde,
as perfectly safe In its twenty fv
years experience not a dollar eve
sent to the Hyde Park Bank ha
been lost. Money should be sen
by personal or bank check, express
registered letter or by postal or e,
press money order. A Pass boo
or receipt will be returned by frs
mail.
Four per cent interest, con
pounded semi-annually, is tn
banks rate to depositors. A
taxes are paid by the bank, wha
ever the size of the deposit.
If any further facts pertaining t
the Bank are desired, address tt
President, Carroll S. Page, or til
Treasurer, F. M. Culver, Hyc
Park, Vermont, and they will
promptly forthcoming an
