ANOTHER SAVINGS BANK
RECORD BREAKER
FOR VERMONT

| - 80 AANAvAO
We have before spoken in these
columns of the fact that Vermont
enjoyed the unique distinction of
having at Hyde Park the largest
Savings Bank in the world in a
country village.
| Now comes Bank Com mission
er Williams with another point
of Vermont Savings Banks supe-
riority.
He says that our state stands
at the head of all the states in
the Union in the amount of de-
posts in Savings Banks, per
capita of population.
What does this mean, and WHY
this preference shown to Yer
mont banks in general and to
the Hyde Park Bank in particu-
lar !?
There can be but one answer,
and that is, that the people of
Vermont have come to believe
that there is no place in the
world so safe to place their little
savings, against rainy day, as
in carefully conducted, we'll
managed Vermont Savings Bank.
Practically five out of every
eight people in Vermont, count
ing every man, woman and child,
is a savings Bank depositor.
Some fellow has tried to poke
fun at Vermont by saying that
"she has six m onths of winter and
three months OF late in the fall"
So long as we can maintain
our superiority in matters of
thrift, we can quietly smile while
they poke fun at us.
The wise ones among these
shouters know a good thing
when they see it and when they
want the safest of all places in
which to place their money, they
come to a Vermont Savings
Bank.
The books of the Hyde Park
Bank show thatit is therecipient
of deposits from every state in
the Union.
Alaska, the Philippine Islands,
the Republics of Panama and
Cuba, China, India, Turkey, and
the Canadian provinces from
Quebec on the east to Saskatche-
wan on the west also contribute
by their deposits to make the
Hyde Park Bank the largest
bank in the world in a country
village.
One thing that prompts the de-
posts from these far off countries
is the fact that it is now abso-
lutely safe to send money to the
Hyde Park Bank either by check,
postal or express money order,
or by registered letter.
Not a dollar sent to the Hyde
Park Bank by mail since it was
in 1889 has ever been
lost.
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 investi-
cation by any deposition.
1t does not own today, so far
as the closest scrutiny can deter
mine, a single dollar of poor
assets.
The Hyde Park Bank pays 4
per cent, compounded semi-an-
nually, and pays all taxes.
Full information upon any
point connected either with the
Banks assets or its management
will be cheerfully furnished to
anyone addressing its President,
Carroll S. Page or its Treasurer.

L. Fl. Lewis of the Hyde Park News

$4,000 libel suit on his hands. This is
one of the risks of the newspaper business
and was brought about in this instance
through the publication of an article

brought about because an article appear

close the writer. The article criticised
the acts of States Attorney Maurice to
the extent that the attorney seeks dam
age. Mr.. Lewis never impresses one that
he possesses anything very vicious in his
make up, in fact he is too good fellow
to do any one harm.

paper, against a libel suit that, judging
from what has been printed about it. was
