Bookmark Wednesday: Milton Public Library

    This weeks bookmark was found in a 1st edition of James Clavelle's Shogun.
It is a bookmark from the Milton Public Library of Milton Massachusetts. It dates from April of 1976 and was presented to the library by Milton Savings Bank.
According to the National Information Center  Milton Savings Bank had just moved to the address listed in the Bookmark. 40 Adams Street, Milton Village, and so they probably saw this method of advertising as a way to get the word out to the community.

After digging around the internet some more it seems that Milton Savings bank was acquired in 1982 by Union Warren Savings bank which in turn became part of Home Owners Savings Bank F.S.B. In 2003 Home owners Savings bank changed it's name to Boston Trust & Insurance Management Company and is now located at One Beacon Street, 33rd Floor in Boston Ma.

So I wonder if anyone still holds an account with this bank from way back in 1976.
Bookmarks can be fascinating
