DANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS

yisable to remove the bank to Daniel son, field where it would be more easy of access of it's many deposlo.s and where, it appeared, opportunity for galn- ing many new depositors presented itself
 Removal of the bank was not aecomp- lished without overcoming some opposi- tion, for there were those who rigllteously felt that Brooklyn could i'll afford 10 lose such an important institution, but the of- ficials of the bank finally achieved their ambition and in October, 1913, the bank came into new quarters established for it on the West Side, still in the town Of Brooklyn geographically but in reality in DanielSon. In April 1913, tha bank was removed into the Killingly section of Danielson, taking quarters in tho Pnoe- nix block, formerly occupied by the Windham County National bank, which had removed to a new home farther up l the street.
 Removal of the bank to Daielscn has l justified to the fullest the good judgment of the officials in making the change. It has grown phenomenally in the past decade an devery succeeding six months shows greater deposits and an increase in surplus and profits.
 It may be mentioned in passing that the dividend due today, Sept. lst amounts to $S2, ,1SS.01. After paying this out oi the. earnings of the past six months the bank will have s16,144.5S 10 add to the surplus account, the surplus and profits of the bank now amounting to nearly 8 third of a million dollars, or to be exact s326,500
 There is real reason, therefore, for the elation of the banks officials and for its depositors. It is a golden anniversary No review, even as brief as this one, o1 the history of this bank would be really worth while without mention of the fac that its veteran treasurer, Clarence A Potter, is to be credited with much ot the success the bank las achieved. Al though still officially connected with the bank, is no longer it's active head, tht treasurership having passed to Sidnel W. Bard, for many years connected witf the institution and who las taken LII the work where MT. Potter left it off, anC has proved himself and exception ally worthy successor. J. Arthur Atwood f the president of the bank and the othel officials and trustees are all capaiJie ant conservative business and professiona men.
