The idea, greatly amplified by its
originator and his successors since
then, was the bedrock foundation oi

such essential and integral parts of
all busincii, financial and domestic
life today.

Real Facts About
Most Absurd Hoax
One of the inofct curious stories
relating to our currency is to the
effect that a Catholic engraver secretly
incorporated a picture of the
jmjjh- and other Catholic symbols in
tiie design of vftfro' one-<l</llar greenback
or legal ^tender Treasury notes
ot the ".Series of PJ17." Thin bill
h.i- often been referred to as the
( atholie dollar bill by anti-t atholicH
and it is whispered urourui that the
engraver was dismissed from the Huicau
of Kngraving and Printing and
was sentenced to a term in the penitentiary.
It is hardly necessary to state that
the .-tory is pure fiction. The first
plate for greenbacks bearing this
face wan designed and engraved in
180* by the Columbia Hank Note Co.
of New York arui the first bills bearing
the design were issued in 1H(JU
when Grant fra? president. f;W?th
different signatures, Heals and other
trifling change* the same plate wan
used to print hilla in 1874, 1875, 1878,
1880 and again in ll>17. N
On the left-hand side of thiH bill is
a picture of Columbus discovering
the New World, and in the upper
left-hand corner is a figure which
many believe to la; a human face ?
perhaps that of the Virgin Mary, or
the pope!
This figure, according to the liureau
of Engraving and 1'rintjng, was
not intended to be a face at all.
When viewed at a different angle,
or under a magnifying glass, the figure
ceases to resemble a face and
becomes merely a floral decoration.

Figures suoh as this frequently occur
in painting* and engravings, especially
in the older designs, without
auy intent on the part of the artist
to produce such an effect. The designer
of currency resorta to all sorts
bf figures and fancies for the purpose
of making counterfeiting difficult
The cross that appears on. at least
two "K's" on the reverse side of the
bill is explained in a similar manner
and is merely a fancy design in type.
Likewise the so-called rosary around
the border of the design in the center
of the reverse is nobbing more than
a conventional engraving pattern and
noes not resemble a rosary at all.
Neither is there any reason for supposing
that the serpent in the lower
right-hand corner of the face of the
bill was intended as a Catholic symbol.
The story about the so-called Cath
olic bill received wide circulation after
a number of employee? were dismissed
from the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing during President
Harding's administration. The trouble
was not in connection with paper
money, but Liberty Bonds, and all
employees who were dismissed were
later reinstated.
In 1024 William C. McAdoo, who
was secretary of the treasury in 1017,
when the bills were issued, declared
that "the Catholics hud no more to
do with the design of this one-dollar
bill than the man in the moon." More
rfne-dollar bills were needed and, according
to McAdoo, "it became necessary
to resume the one-dollar
greenbacks." An old design was
used and the words "Series of 1017"
were substituted for "Series of 1880"
"merely to indicate that the re-is
evtance wan not counterfeit \ J I

Analyze the
Allowance on Yolk
Used Car
a
If a dealer pays f/ori mare than the true trorth
of the ear he must make up the difference
by extra charyes on the new car or re-sell
it to some one else at too hiyh a price
PERMANENT value is always better than a temporary
bargain in the purchase of an automobile.
It pays to look ajiead and consider reliability
and ultimate up-keep costs, as well as comfort,
safety, speed, and beauty of line and color.
Since most automobiles are bought for replacement.
the value set on your used car is a factor in
almost every purchase. Frequently it is given an
importance beyond its true worth.
I'sed cars have a definite market value and you
are justly entitled to an allowance based on that
?? J
value. It is not fair that you receive less. It is not
to your best interests to receive more.
If a dealer pays yon more than the true worth of
the car he must either re-sell it to some one else
at too high a price or make up the difference on
the new car. This he cannot do unless he is allowed
an excessive profit on the car or on financing, extra
equipment and other charges. In either case, you
pay the bill, for 110 way has yet been found to give
something for nothing. The money must come
from soniewliere.
You may not get the largest used-ear allowance
from the Ford dealer, but that very fact should
give you confidence that you are receiving full
value in the new car. Ford charges are not marked
up or increased to cover a high trade-in allowance
on your old car
Because there is no waste, extravagance or undue
profit in manufacturing, distribution or selling,
every dollar you pay for a Ford brings a full dollar
in return. In lower first cost, in reliability and long
life, in the low cost of operation, service and
replacement parts, the Ford will save you much
more than the seeming difference in trade allowance.
FURTHERMORE, at least $75 extra value is given to
you in the new Ford in the Triplex shatter-proof
glass windshield, the Rustless Steel, the five steelspoke
wheels, and the four Houdaille hydraulic
double-acting shock absorbers. The unusually
large number of ball and roller bearings, and the
extensive use of fine steel forgings instead of
castings or stampings, are other features that show
the extra quality built into the Ford car.
