Savings Banks and
Printers Ink
IFrom The Windsor JournaD

(From the Windsor Journal
Hyde Park, where are located Gov
ernor Pages calfskin industry and his
Lamoille County Savings Banl, insists
that her prosperity is due in large
measure to the generous use OF print
er's ink, and who doubts the truth OF
the claim? Public faith in conservat
i've business management has had
part in the Hyde Park banks growth.
The Ex-Governor has been somewhat
criticised for the manner OF his indul-
gence in printers ink; but we see no
reason why banks business as wei;
as the hide business or any other
business cannot be materially built up
by judicious advertising. Page has set
a not pace in the matter OF bank adj
vertising, but he is getting results;
and when he or any other business
man gets results, he is doing some
thing for himself. his town and his
state"
II is we'll recognized fact among
advertisers that it descent pay to be
liberal in the use of printers ink IN
less you really have something to sa}
to the public. Governor Page com.
meneed more than fifty years ago to
develop a ealfskin business built upon
the theory, first, that every man who
shipped a skin to him would have
square deal, and second, that he
should put up little better quality
Of skin, and a grade little more nearly
TO meet the requirements Of the tan
ner, than any other living man and,
having decided upon this theory OF do
ing business, he told the public of his
intentions and dong so was . liberal
advertiser. The results have been
manifest in putting little Hyde Park
on the map as the home Of one Of the
largest hide industries in the world.
Again, when in 1889 the Hyde Park
Savings Bank was started with Gov.
ernor Page as its leading spirit, he de-
cided that he would try to make the
Hyde Park Bank a model institution.
an institution that should take good
care Of every Vermont interest: an
institution that would be a little more
conservative. If possible, In its invest
ments, than any other bank.
Whether Governor Page has or has
not used printers ink successfully is
a matter concerning which the public
do not need to be enlightened. The
fast THAT Hyde PARK is the home Of
one VI the largest lines Of ealfskin
bvsiness In the world and that it is
also the hcwe % Ire largest Savings
