A SAVINGS BANK
WITH A WORLDWIDE
REPUTATION


It has been said that the foun-
dation of every successful business is
confidence.
Let the public once reach the con-
cIusion that merchant is honest, re-
liable and square and his trade
growe-often times the growth is
phenomenal.
While this is true with reference
to merchants, it is especially true
with reference to Savings Banks.
1t is said that there Is nothing SO
cowardIy as money; let the slightest
breath of suspicion be raised in re-
gard to the safety of money and it
goes into hiding about as quick as
you can say "Jack Robinson"
On the other hand, let the methods
and characteristics of the managers
of a carefully conducted Savings
Bank become the subject of favorable
discussion and money flows into its
treasury from every quarter.
People first begin to talk about it
on the street corners Of the banks
home town, then the adjoining coun-
ties take up the discussion and, be-
fore you know it, the good opinions
concerning the bank are spread from
county to county, from state to state
and from country to country, until it
encircles the globe.
An excellent example Of this is
the Hyde Park Savings Bank, whose
growth for the first few years OF its
existence was Very modest.
The bank commenced business in
January, 1889; ten years thereafter,
on the first day of January, 1899, it's
deposits were only $4e7,7o4,.56, less
sum than it has gained in single
year since that time.
Ask almost any man of general
information touching Vermont affairs
today and he will tell you that the
cause of the abnormal growth of the
Hyde Park Bank has been the faith
of the people in the painstaking care
of that Bank in making it's invest
ments as we'll as in a firm belief in
the excellent business ability and the
cautious conservatism of it's manag-
ers.
This reputation has spread un.
til it has covered the country. There
isn't state in the Union that doesn't
deposit money in the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bans--indeed, it receives de-
posits from Alaska, the Philippine
Islands, the Republics of Panama
and Cuba, from the Canadian Prov
inces from Quebec on the east to
Saskatchewan on the west and from
China, India and Turkey.
All these have contributed to make
the Hyde Park Savings Bank the
largest Bank in the world in "a coun-
try village.
the Hyde Park Bank by mail since it
was organized in 1889 has ever been
lost has Undoubtedly contributed
greatly to these far-away deposits of
that Bank, and they have come to
the Bank by check, postal or express
money order and by registered let.
ter.
The Hyde Park Bank pays per
cent. compounded semi-annuaIIy and
pays all taxes.
So far as the most careful scrutiny
can determine, the Bank does not
own a dollar of doubtful paper among
it's entire assets.
Safety first, safety last and safety
all the time" has always been the
motto of the Hyde Park Bank, and
its books are always open to the most
critical examination by any deposit |
tor.
II any information is desired upon
any point connected with the Bank,
either call upon or write to the |
Banks President, Carroll S. Page or
the Treasurer, r. M. Culver, Hyde |
Park, Vermont, and reply will be
promptly forthcoming.
