The News is unquestionably
right when it says that the growth
of the Hyde Park Bank came
through hard work, good manage
ment and careful and honest deal
ing. We doubt if any man ever
gave to a financial institution more
vigilant, painstaking, tireless atten-
ton than have its managers given
to the Hyde Park Bank.
Their motto from the beginning
has been "Absolute safety first. y
High rates of interest have never
tempted them to accept a weak
loan. In other words they have
deserved the confidence of the peo-
pie of Vermont, and the people of
Vermont have, on their part, recip-
rocated that confidence by making
the Hyde Park Bank the depository
of their savings.
Four per cent with taxes of every
kind paid-and the Hyde Park
Bank pays-is as high as a bank
can afford to pay if it confines its
investments to strictly frst-class
paper and makes "Absolute safety
first" its motto.
The fact that it is perfectly safe
now to send money by registered
letter, check or postal money order,
has resulted in deposits coming to
the Hyde Park Bank from every
county and almost every town in
in the state and from almost every
state in the Union.
If anyone would like to, know
more about the Hyde Park Bank
they will receive prompt informa
ton by addressing the President
Carroll S. Page, or the Treasurer

The Bank has recently issued very hand
some booklet telling of it's growth during
the first 25 years of it's existence. 1t con

SAFETY FIRST.

"Safety first" is the slogan of the
present day. and it is fast being ap,
piled in the industrial world to curb
the tendency of the present age
towards speed at the expense of safety.
There is always point beyond which
it is not wise to proceed, which point
has in good ssmany instances been
passed, and the resulting disasters
have brought about a policy OF re-
trenchment to the point where safety
is the first consideration.
The Central Savings Bank & Trust
company of Orleans has from its very
inception by it's organizers pursued
this policy, and the results have proven
the wisdom of the course which has
been constantly followed.
In the nine years of its existence it
has experienced rapid and steady
growth, and on June 80 it reported to
the bank commissioner that it had
resources of nearly eight hundred
thousand dollars (S797. 845.25). That
this money is we'll and safely invested
is evidenced by it's statement to the
commissioner that it had on that date,
only S33. "a of interest on its loans
which was more than IL months over
due. It further reported that upon
CNob OACC IL 0lo IlOC OWI a oOIId1
worth of real estate acquired under
foreclosure, showing the clear cut
character of it's investments. and
another monument to the careful
attention and good judgment of it's
board of directors in investing the
banks funds.
This record and the policy of the
bank is daily appealing to those pru-
dent, careful persons who have funds
to deposit, hence the steady growth
which this bank has enjoyed.
The bank guarantees four per cent
on deposits and pays all taxes on
deposits of any amount. Banking by
mail is now considered absolutely safe,
and persons at a distance need have nc
hesitation in sending money to this
bank by registered letter, check, postal
order. express or money order, and
prompt acknowledgement will be
made. (adv.)

Gently heard that Hyde Park, the

honorable distinction of having the

Daily News.
Thanks to the News for the
very pleasant compliment extended
to Lamoille county. We think the
report that the News says it has
recently heard that CLYDE Park,
the home of Senator Page carries
the honorable distinction of having
the largest bank in the world for
village of its size," is unquestion-
ably correct. If anybody is curious
enough to take the time to investi-
gate the matter and finds that it
isn't true, we will make our humble
apologies.
What strikes us in the above
statement Of the News as being
particularly 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 rule, things don't come in
this world unless there is a reason
for their coming. The farmer who
has the best dairy of cows is the
one who is everlastingly vigilant to
see that his COWS are we'll bred and
have good care. The best lawyer
is usually the one who has been the
most diligent, painstaking and per
sistent in studying the underlying
principles of law.
