I r>|.=pntch yesterday which stated that ninonir those to whom marriage li? censes in Washington had been issued j was Miss Mary <; bs(ln. fth6 Park Ave. 1.ue. is Incorrect. The Miss nlbson to I whom the license was Issued does not reside at :<nr, Park Avenue. Every lark on a Silver Dollar Is made for a purpose. For instance, you will notice a raised r:n<s around the edge of a dollar. This pre? vents the face of a co n wearing away. The litre scallops on the inside of the raised ring are called the "miJHngV and the parallel marks around the edge are the "reeding," made to prevent tampering with the dollar. On the face of the coin is the head "Liberty," while the eagle on the reverse side hears in one taion .in olive branch and in the other a bunch of arrows, signifying that our country is great cither In peace or u ar. Just below the aurel wreath, the symbol of vic? tory and progression, is sometimes found a small (), the mark of the mint in New Orleans, or S, that 6i San Francisco. If no letter Is shown it was made at the mint in Philadelphia. While these facts are interesting, YOUR dollars can be made to bear many more marks?those of honest effort, of prudence, forethought and wisdom. Thus the American National Bank of Richmond, Virgin'a, would invisibly mark your dollars with SECURITY AND SERVICE.
