A New System of Banking by Mail 



A unique system of Banking by mail has been in- 

 stituted by The Putnam Trust Co. of Greenwich, 

 Conn., intended to afford a simple and safe method 

 by which people living at a distance can carry on 

 interest accounts through the mails. The first and 

 subsequent deposits can be sent by check or a 

 money order with the depositor's signature and ad- 

 dress. The company sends a certificate which looks 

 a good deal like a coupon bond. A number of small 

 coupons are attached, and when the depositor wish- 

 es to withdraw, he can do so by simply filling out a 

 coupon, and rnail certificate, with the coupon at- 

 tached, to the company. These certilicates are non- 

 negotiable and cannot be used except by the person 

 who has the account. In return, a check is sent by 

 The Putnam Trust drawn on the Guaranty Trust 

 Company of New York, which can be cashed in any 

 place where there is a bank. Deposits and with- 

 drawals are noted on the certificates, showing the 

 exact balance. For depositors in foreign countries 

 a bill of exchange is sent payable in the currency 

 of the country. The company pays the usual four 

 per cent, interest and its operations are safeguarded 

 by the laws of the State of Connecticut. *

Care for the Birds. 



Mr. J. B. McArdle, florist and seed- 

 man, has recently issued an attractive 

 catalogue of the nesting devices and 

 feeding arrangements for our native 

 birds, which have been made and sold 

 for The Greenwich Bird Protective 

 Society. Everyone interested in birds 

 whether locally or in distant places will 

 find it worth while to write to Mr. Mc- 

 Ardle regarding these well made and 

 low priced conveniences for our native 

 birds. 



A Clover Conceit. 



The clovers are a gypsy band 

 Just running riot o'er the land, 

 And gay, as courtiers were of old, 

 All clad in crimson, white and gold. 



On highways and on byways too, , 

 They hold high carnival, 'tis true, 

 And nod in courtesy in the breeze! 

 Dame Nature's truant children these. 



They brighten all the country-side,_ 

 And fling their fragrance far and wide; 

 How much they add to man's abode,, 

 These dear familiars of the road! 



— Emma Peirce.
