Il Biggest Bank-LIttIe Town

Speaking of banks; we have re-
Gently heard that Hyde Park, the
home of Senator Page, carries the
honorable distinction of having the
largest fin the world for vii
lage OF its size.
such an exceptional thing is dis
tinctive and it is worthy of mention.
To us il has not ben known until now
that such distinction has come TO Yer
mont.
"of course 1t did not come to this
State and neighborhood without rea-
son. In fact it came through hard
work, good management, careful and
honest dealing, In brief, II attained
that distinction by pluck, persever-
ance, persistence-and printers

Thanks to the News for the very
pleasant compliment extended to La
noble county. We think the report
that the News says 1t has recently
heard that Hyde Park, the home of
Senator Page. carries the honorable
distinction of having the largest bank
in the world for village OF its size,
is unquestionably correct.
II anybody is curious enough TO
take the time to investigate the mat
ter and finds that IL isn't true. we will
make out humble apologies.
What strikes us in the above state
ment of the News as being particular
ly pertinent and happy is that it has
diagnosed so correctly what we think
are the true reasons why Hyde Park
enjoys this unique distinction.
AS a rule, things don't come in this
world unles there is a reason for their
coming. The farmer who has the best
dairy COWS is the one who is eveTlast-
ingly vigilant to see that his cowsare
well bred and have good care. The
best lawyer is usually the one who
has been the most diligent, painstak-
ing and persistent in studying the UNI
DERIVING principles Of law.
The News is unquestionably right
when il says that the growth of the
Hyde Park Bank came through hard,
work, good management and careful
and honest dealing. We doubt II any
man ever gave to financial institu.
ton more vigilent, painstaking. tire
less attention than have its managers
given to the Hyde Park Bank.
Their motto from the beginning has
b.o., caroty - IIfoh
rates OF interest have never tempted
them TO accept weak loan. In other
words, they have deserved the conf
dence of the people of Vermont, and
the people of Vermont have. on their
part, reciprocated that confidence by
making the Hyde Park Bank the de-
pository of their savings.
Four per cent, with taxes of every
kind paid-and that is what the Hyde
Park Bank pays-is as high as bank
can afford to pay If il confines its in
vestments TO strictly frst-class paper
and makes Absolute safety first its
motto.
The fact that II is perfectly safe
now to send money by registered let
ter. check. or postal money orde-. has
resulted in deposits coming TO the
Hyde Park Bank from every county
and almost every town in the state.
and from almost every state in the
Union.
II anyone would like TO know more
about the Hyde Park Bank. they will
receive prompt information by ad-
dressing the President. Carroll S. Page
