was unanimously decided by the
bankers that newspaper advertising
was the cheapest advertising that
banks could buy. and that in the
future no more money would be in

priations for advertising should be
expended for space in the local
papers. And it is a fact that IN
nearly oil small country towns any
number of business enterprises in
the towns expend more for calen
dars in lumb sum than they ex-
pend for space in the local papers
during the entire year. Taken as q
whole bankers ale cool headed

ger train leaving Boston every afternoon

Alillcrs Falls, Mass, with the Central
Vermont train reaching Brattleboro at
SD in the evening, and ut Greenfield
Mass, with the Boston & Maine train
reaching here at S.5G o'clock. This train
is the best one TO take from Boston to
Brattlcboro.
Another train on the Fitchburg divi-
sion that is to be taken oil is the east
bound leaving Greenfield at S25 II. m
This is the train giving Boston conncc-
lions with the Z o'clock train leaving here
every weekday morning and connections
with the $40 a. m. train south every
Sunday morning.
Several local trains between Greenfield
and Springfield will be taken Off, as will
the Sunday morning train which goes
through here south bound at $40 o'clock
Orders to this effect have not been re-
ceived i'll Brattleboro, but the informa-
ton is considered here to be authentic
