A SAVINGS BANK WITH A
WORLDWIDE REPUTATION.

dation of every successful bust
ness is confidence.
Let the public once reach the
conclusion that a merchant is
honest, reliable and square and
his trade gro ws-often times the
growth is phenomenal.
| While this is true with reference
to merchants, it is especially true
with reference to Savings Banks.
| It is said that there is no thing
so cowardlv as money; let the
lslightest breath of suspicion be
raised in regard 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 con-
Quoted Savings Bank become the
subject of favorable discussion
and money flows into it's treas
urv from every quarter.
| People first begin to talk about
it on the street corners Of the
banks home town, then the adj
Joining counties take up the dis
cussion and, before 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
I'M January, 1889; ten years there
after, on the first day of January,
1899, its deposits were only
S479, 7O4.5 Sc, less sum than it
has gained in a 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 maxine it's inves ments.
as we'll as in a firm belief in the
excellent business ability and the
cautious conservatism of it's
managers.
This reputation has spread un-
til it has covered the country.
There isn't a state in the Union
that doesn't deposit money in
the Hyde Park Savings Bank-in-
deed, it receives deposits 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 country village.
The fact that not a dollar sent
to the Hyde Park Bank by mail
since it was organized in 1889
has ever been lost has undoubt-
eddy contributed greatly to these
deposits of that Bank,
and they have come to the Bank
by check, postalor express money
order and by registered letter.
The Hyde Park Bank pays 4
per cent compounded semi-an-
nually and pays all taxes.
So far as the most careful scru-
inv can determine, the Bank
loes not own a dollar of doubt
ul paper among its entire assets.
"Safetv first, safety last and
afety all the time" has always
,een the motto of the Hyde Park
Bank, and its books are always
pen to the most critical exami-
Iation by any depositor.
If any information is desired
pom any point connected with
he Bank, either call upon or
write to the Banks President,

Changing Our Forms.

Since we are getting out an all

position of our local page. 1t has
been customary to read the first
page, turn inside, and read the To-
cal page and throw the paper down.
Every page in the paper has some
thing of local interest on 1t and
every page should be looked over.
The local news will be found mere
after on our third page, while on
page five will be found other items
of local interest.
Our love story TPeg O My Heart"
is increasing in interest and should
hold the attention of all our read
ers.
Our "funny picture" is one of
the best of the different series
published. We have such a time
of it telling" the funny pictures
to our young ones that we want
every other man in the county to
have the same experience.
Look over every page in this pa
per before putting it down. You
will find something to entertain you.
