THE PROPOSED
BANK
A Bennington View of the Con-
templated Consolidation in
Brattleb0ro.
Consolidating Banks.

1 1OAESoAahtAA@ R14A1s
Two of the biggest banks in southern
Vermont, the Vermont National and the
Peoples National at Brattleboro, are try
ing to consolidate and seem to be having
as much trouble as a boy and girl under
legal age trying to get married without
the consent of their parents.
Were the banks small and weak and
spindling it would be proper to join them
together. 1t is better for any town TO
nave as its public service institution one
strong one than two or three of the frail
and lettering kind. In the case Of the
two Brattleboro banks, however, both
are big, strong n prosperous.
From this distance ii looks as though
the effort to unite the W Is largely an
ambition of the promoters for size and
bigness and dominance. This is an idea
that had vogue n few years ago, but is
not at the present time accepted as the
correct solution by the wise and expert
eDCed economists.
More and more life and history are
found to be mostly a repetition. abso-
lureIy true to the old joke zone damn
thing after another" In looking to the
future the correct process always Is TO
study the past.
In every town there are lines of bust
ness that ought to be consolidated. y
town that supports two public service
plants of almost n kind is paying twice
when it can get better service By paying
once. but this does not apply to banks.
Although our Socialist and Socialist
icaIfy. inclined friends nave never earned
this important truth one Of the chief es-
s~entials of the advance of civilization.
and absolutely the greatest factor in the
dissemination of general prosperity Is the
presence in society of men and i%nstitu-
lions that accumulate and conserve CAPT
tai 30 that it is ready to use to meet the
needs of increased population and the call
for more jobs and more business. Without
these conservers and preservers of saw
ings and capital, we should all be living
and working from hand to mouth Just as
our ancestors did for untold thousands OF
years
Brattleboro is a growing and prosper
Gus town and the center of an area OF TO-
coo people. 1t would seem to be wiser
for Brattleboro to retain both its national
banks instead of sacrificing their double
service to an ambition for size.-Benmng-
ton Banner.
