SAVINGS BANKS AND

"Hyde Park, where are located Gov

Lamoille County Savings Bank, insists
that her prosperity is due in large
measure to the generous use of print
er's ink, and who doubts the truth of
the claim? Public faith in conserv
ative business management has had
a part in the Hjde Park bank's
growth. The ex Governor has been
somewhat criticised for the manner of
indulgence in printer's ink; but

his
wa
ness, r.8 well as the hide business or
any other business, cannot be mate
rially built up by judicious advertising.
Page has et a hot pace in the matter
of bank advertising, but he's getting
results; and when he or any other ;
business man gets results he ia doing
something for himself, his town and
his state."
It is a well recognized fact among
advertisers that it doesn't pay to
be liberal in the use of printer's ink
unless you really have something
to say to the public. Governor
Page commenced more than fifty
years ago to develop a calfskin busi
ness bi,;1'. upon the theory, first,
thai every man who shipped a skin
to him would have a square deal,
and second, that he should put up
a little better quality of skin, and
grade a little more nearly to meet
the requirements of the tanner,
than any other living man and,
having decided upon this theory of
doing business, he told the public
of his intentions and in doing so
was a liberal advertiser. The re
sults have been manifest in putting
little Hyde Park on the map as the
home of one of the largest hide in
dustries in the world.
Again, when in -1889 the Hyde
Park Savings Bank was started with
Governor Page as its leading spirit,
he decided that he would try to
make the Hyde Park Bank a model
institution, an institution that
should take good care of every
Vermont interest ; an institution
that would be a little more conserv
ative, if possible, in its investments,
than any other bank.
Whether Governor Page has or
has not used printer's ink success
fully is a matter concerning which
the public do not need to be en
lightened. The fact that Hyde
Park is the home of one of the larg
est lines of calfskin business in the
world and that it is also the home
of the largest Savings Bank in the
world, in a place of its size, tells its
own story.
The money which Governor Page
has put into printer's ink would
have been practically wasted unless
he had had something to say about
calfskins and savings banks which
the public wished to know, but the
public did wish to know and there
fore it has read what Page has had
to sav touching: Green Calfskins
and Savings Banks.
As the Windsor Journal wel
says, the held is open to every
body all one has to do is to lay the
foundation broad and deep for
something better than the ordinary.
Having done this, move along on
straightforward lines in the matter
of telling the public not only what
you are going to do but what you
have done if you have succeeded.
But, let us add, .don't waste your
money on printer's ink unless,
having advertised, you are able to
"deliver the goods" as advertised.
Of course the fact that banking
by mail is perfectly safe has aided
not a little in building upvthe Hyde
Park Bank. Not a dollar has ever
been lost by a depositor sending
money to this bank. The proper
way to send is either by registered
letter, personal or bank check, ex
press, or by postal or express
x money order.

"Mr. BirksteadV
Iddleston, "I am
about my son."
"What's the trouble?" I asked,
"He Is Infatuated with a girl I
test."
"Have yuu grounds for detesting
her?"
"There's nothing in her. She's vain,
selfish and altogether unlovely. How
she has captured Jimmie I can't imag
ine." Since 1 was not interested in Jim
mie the Information did not especial
ly move me. But 1 was interested in
his mother, who was a widow. Indeed,
I had intentions with reference to Mrs.
Iddleston and wished I could make her
think me as fine a man as this girl
had succeeded in making Jim think her
a fine woman. I wondered how she
did it ,
"Now. 1 know that you, a novelist,"
continued Mrs. Iddleston, "are one of
the inventrre kind with plenty of in
genuity and can bring about some sit
uation between Jiniinie and this girl
to make hr appear to him as she ap
pears to any one who sees her through
eyes not distorted by the imagination."
"Who is she?" I asked.
"Julia Elintouv"
"How can I know her?"
"Jimmie tells me that she's going
this summer to Arlington Beach. Why
can't you go there, too. for your vaca
tion?"
"I can."
"And you will try to do something
for me?"
"On one condition that if I succeed
you will find some other literary man
to invent a scheme whereby I may be
made to look better in your eyes than
I am." ,
I can vouch for the fact, though
do not expect to be believed, that a
widow is capable of blushing, for I de
tected a faint reddening as she replied,
with a bit of blarney: "Yon don't need
that. Every one knows how clever you
are. and I am sure you will succeed in
saving my boy."
"If I succeed in showing him the
girl exactly as she is I am sure you
would not ask me to misrepresent tier."
"Certainly not."
I had achieved some recognition on
the part of the reading public and was
known as an author at the hotel where
I stayed, the same in which Miss HIn
ton stayed, and my literary reputation
for good work or bad. as the case
may be made me something of a lion.
While at the beach 1 was sending
my publisher copy every week except j
the first. On my return in September
I read the final plate proofs of my sto
ry, and the book was issued before
Christmas.
Soon after its publication I was in
vited to dine at Mrs. Iddleston's. Jim
was present and received me some
what coolly. We had not been ions
at table before the subject of my nov
el was broached. Mrs. Iddleston said
some very nice things about it. Jim
said nothing tiW his mother reproached
him for being so impolite as not to say
something favorable to the author
about his work.
I protested. "That's where we au
thors have a hard time," 1 said. "Peo
ple say complimentary things to us
about our work, but we get no real
criticism that which of all things we
need most."
"Well." said Jim. "Ibave a personal
bone to pick with the author in this
case, beverai things 1 said were put
In the story word for word."
"You are right." I replied. "Kdmond
Searle is a picture of yourself."
1 saw his face light with pleasure.
"Do you really mean that?" he asked
"Searle is a splendid fellow."
"Why do you consider him such?"
I asked. I
"I don't' know."
"It is because yon see him as de Is
a real living person. You are taken out
of yourself to look at yourself."
"But there Is one thing about me In
the story I don t like. What an ass

"The girl was a real character too "
"What, that tning!"
