The second query suggested, to
wit: GLOW can the phenomenal
growth of the Hyde Park Bank,
as shown by the above statement,
be accounted for?" is really a very
simple matter. Here is the ex-
plantations:
Savings Bank Depositors in the
aggregate are very shrewd and
as a class are an extremely critical
body of men. They insist that
the safest bank is none too safe
for them, and having reached a
conclusion in their own minds as
to which is the safest, they place
their money there.
CONFIDENCE is a plant of
slow growth. For the first five
years of its existence the Hyde
Park Savings Bank grew less than
S3oo,ooo but during the last five
years it grew considerably more
than a million dollars, as the above
table shows.
The managers of the Hyde
Park Bank quite naturally take
great pride in the position which
the bank occupies among the
banks of the world and it feels
quite justified in soliciting the de-
posts of those Vermonters who
would like to perpetuate this unique
distinction now enjoyed by Yer
mont
Banking by mail is now regarded
as absolutely safe and depositors
anywhere can send money to this
bank either by personal or bank
check, postal or express money or.
der, registered letter or express
without the slightest fear of loss
indeed in the twenty-six years OF
its existence, not a dollar ever sent
to this bank has ever been lost.
, The Hyde Park Bank pays -four
!, per cent and compounds semi
/ annually and it pays all taxes.
Any information desired by
those contemplating making
deposit in this bank will be cheer
fully furnished by addressing tn,

The Phenomenal Growth of the
Hyde Park Savings Bank.

The fact that the Hyde Park
Savings Bank is the largest bank
in any country village in the
world has come to be the subject
of much comment on the part of
bank managers, not only in Yer
mont, but in many of the other
states of the Union,
"Can it be true9" and if so,
chow can it be accounted for?'
are the questions most often
raised by those most interested
in Savings Banks.
AS to the first question-"Can
it be true?"-the best answer per
haps is statement taken from
the official records which disclose
that the number of depositors
and the amount of deposits by
five year periods since the organ
ization of the bank in 1880 are as
follows
