some quotations: : '.
"Calvin Coolidge was an odd fish in the White House.
"He was peculiarly a Yankee, a blue-bellied, Vermont
Yankee to the core, lie had exhibited absolutely no in
itiative. Ho had spoken no memorable phrase. . . .
He played no poker, drank no liquor, made few friends.
And Mrs. Coolidgo, who had come with him from the duplex-
apartment in Northampton, Massachusetts, for
which they h.1d been payiug twenty-seven dollars a
month all their married life, and who moved with him
into one of Washington's rather grand but noisy hotels,
nan 10 worn lv;a, Utu.se tnr.t seventeen Washington
months of the vice presidency, keeping him awake after
bedtime in Northampton at i)::i0. . . .
"Coolidge !t! '.ays knew more definitely what he did
not want than what he wanted. His messages were often
vague on the positive side but crystalline in their clarity
about his dislikes and aversions. . . .He is negation
incarnate. As president, he bestraddled progress face
backward. ...
"Coolidge's plus quality was honesty; honesty backed
by a kind of herd courage. Akine he is timid; with the
crowd he is immovable, undaunted. And the picture
which the millions saw across the gulf ivhich separates
iv president from his people was the fact of an honest
man; so they idealized this picture and saw a man who
saved their taxes; a man who was immovable amid
clamor; a man who defied the mob a man who bcnutifiied
plutocracy by glorifying parsimony a man who defied
untoward events by ignoring them him thev saw as
a hero and blinked his warts and scars. So in the white
light that beats upon a throne the minor vices of a presi
dent sometimes at long range becomes his major virtues
m the public eye."
That, weMwIieve, is a frank and accurate picture of the
man who will retire as president next March. It is a little
known picture but ono that we have always held since dis
covering the intimate and confidential views of Coolidge re
lated by those in a Hisition to know. Like people who are
cured of an imaginary illness with sugar pills, the country
as a whole has swallowed Coolidge propaganda and "the minor
vices of a president become his major virtues in the public eye.
Although not an ardent admirer of Coolidge personally!
we have great respect for what has been called the "Coolidge
administration." Actually it has been the Moll.m-lloover-Cutler
administration operated under the Coolidge name.
During a period of rather drastic reconstruction it has been
a stabilizing influence of real value. Keen business heads, ex
perienced executives, a minimum of politicians. These' the
country must thank for being kept on an even keel. Thoy
have been willing that Coolidge receive the credit for econ
omy and efficiency. Fortunately for the country, one of the
strongest men in this administration, Herbert Hoover, is the
probable heir to presidential power.

Have You
Owned
Estate?
Ever
Real
Have you ever experienced the thrill of holding a
deed in your hand showing that you were the owner
of a piece of real estate? Have you ever known' the
satisfaction of living in a home that belonged to you,
or of- cashing rent checks from tenants occupying
your property?
Many people, who aie comfortably "well off" have
accumulated worthwhile estate through gradual
purchase of real estate. .Many others have built a
bulwark against want and poverty in old age by buy
ing a home of their own.
You can find frequent opportunities to buy a lot,
a house, or a piece of farm land at a reasonable price.
And through a savings account you can accumulate
enough money to swing the, deal. We will be glad
to suggest how the best savings plan can be worked
out and will give you the benefit of our experience
and counsel when you are considering a real estate
purchase.
The friendly interest of your banker will help in
sure every financial investment being sound and
profitable.
