THE WAR The second World War commenced for Poland and Germany on September 1, 1939, when the Nazis launched their attack at 4:45 a.m. The Germans under the command of General Von Brauchitsch invaded Poland from three directions, north, south and west, with Germany's pride panzer division. Their method of using fast, powerful and violent thrusts of highly mechanized army units became universally known as "blitzkrieg". • 19 3 The Polish army under the leadership of Marshall Rydz-Smigly bravely defended their country with horse cavalry against tanks. The Polish army fought a igento trip i) 2- °:'. 4i4c, Page 4 defensive battle against swift, mobile and potent tanks which advanced quite easily for the first ten days. On September 15th, Poland tightened its defense at the city of Lodz (re-named Litzmannstadt in 1940 by Germany) and stopped Germany's army and its mighty machinery. The victory, however, was short-lived, as Poland was then attacked from the east. At 5:00 A.M. on September 17th, the Soviet Union invaded Poland without a declaration of war and in defiance of many treaties then in force. This incursion came as a great surprise to the Polish government and the German military high command in Poland. Although the Polish armed forces continued to fight gallantly, they had no hope of driving the two enemies from their soil. Warsaw, the capital, was captured by Germany on September 27th. The next day Poland was divided almost equally between her two invaders, Germany and the Soviet Union. Fig. 1. German prisoner of war 5 reichmark note. It is undated, however it was used between 1939 to 1944. This note was not used in any prison camp as it is without the camp overstamp. THE PRISONERS The defeat of the Polish armed forces resulted in the Soviet Union taking an estimated 180,000 prisoners, who were transported to prisoner of war camps in Russia. Most of the enlisted men were sent to 140 prison camps throughout the Soviet Union, while the officers were mainly sent to three prison camps, Kozielsk, Ostashkov and Starobielsk. Fifteen thousand officers were separated from the main group. Four thousand, five hundred were later found murdered in the Katyn Forest, near the Russian city of Smolensk. Today the 10,500 are still missing and are now presumed to have been murdered. The Germans captured an estimated 700,000 prisoners. A number of prisoner of war camps were established to intern the Polish prisoners until they could be transported to permanent prison camps. Before their departure the officers were separated from other ranks. They were transported to Germany and confined to 30 Oflags (camp for officers). The enlisted men were sent to 50 different Stalags (camp for enlisted men). PRISON CAMP MONEY Article 24 of the Geneva Convention of 1929 governing the financial problems of prisoners of war Whole No. 97 required that prisoner of war officers were entitled to be paid a salary prevailing in their own branch of service or equivalent in the captors' armed forces, whichever salary was the lower. Officers were not required to work and their pay was granted them once a month if possible and without being liable to any deduction. After the defeat of Poland, Germany prepared a general issue of "kriegsgefangenen-lagergeld" (prisoner of war camp money) in denominations of 1 (red and gray), 10 (pink and red), 50 (green and red) reichpfennigs; 1 (red and white), 2 (red and blue), 5 (yellow and red), 10 (pink and red) and 20 (mauve and red) reichmarks. The 20 reichmark note was not issued for circulation and existed in proof form only. The notes were issued on distinctive watermarked paper, differing with the denomination. They were undated but were issued in the latter part of 1939. The notes were signed by "der chef Oberkommandos der Wehrmacht" (Commander of the Army). A red overstamp with the word "Oflag" or "Stalag" followed by a Roman numeral which identified the camp can be found on the obverse or on the blank reverse side of the note. The numbers were derived from the military district in which the camp was situated (see appendix). Large quantities of unused notes were found after the war ended. These notes are without the overstamp and therefore were not used in any prison camps. By the end of 1941, Germany was experiencing problems with overcrowded prison camps. New camps were arranged with a larger intake of prisoners than the previous camps. Three of the new camps were used for Polish Officers, Oflag II-B, Oflag II-D and Oflag VII-A. OFLAG II D The German prisoner of war camp known as Oflag II- D (Gross-Born) was established on December 3, 1943. It held approximately 3,000 Polish officers plus a few hundred Polish prisoners of lesser rank. The prisoners were transferred from overcrowded camps to Gross- Born. Fig. 2. Prison camp money for officers in Camp Oflag II-D (Gross-Born). 1944 1 Piast designed by Polish Officers at the camp. Paper Money The camp at first was used as a prison camp for French prisoners and later as a concentration camp for Soviet Union soldiers. It was located not far from the town of Pila, in the province of Bydoszy on the German side of the Polish-German border. The camp today is located within the boundaries of Poland. When the German kriegsgefangenen-lagergeld was withdrawn from circulation, the inmates of the prison designed their own paper currency as a replacement. The currency was given a new Polish unit called "PIAST" which was divided into 100 groszy. The notes were printed in five denominations and with Polish text which when roughly translated stated "bank obozu II D" (bank camp II D), "prawny srodek platniczy w obozu II D" (lawful money for camp II D). The notes were in different sizes and with different colored lettering. 1.10 groszy 90 mm x 50 mm brown lettering 2. 50 groszy 90 mm x 55 mm tan lettering 3. 1 piast 95 mm x 60 mm gray lettering 4. 5 piast 90 mm x 65 mm black lettering 5. 10 piast 90 mm x 65 mm blue lettering The money was dated 16-X (October)-1944, and was called "BANK SCRIP" by the inmates. It showed an official circular bank stamp which consisted of a Polish eagle centered and surrounded with text "bank of II-D" The notes were signed by the camp bank manager and they remained in circulation until the camp closed. Because of the advancing Soviet troops the Germans evacuated the camp on January 25, 1945. Seventy-five percent of prisoners were ordered to march westward to camp Oflag X-A (Sandbostel), near Bremen, a total of about 450 miles. The remaining twenty-five percent of the prisoners were set free. Fig. 3. Oflag II-C (Camp Woldenberg) 5 mark note. It is undated and without serial number and signed by the camp commander. OFLAG II-C The largest prisoner of war camp for Polish prisoners was Oflag II-C (Woldenberg). It was established on April 4, 1942 and was located near the town with the same name. It contained about 7,000 prisoners, of which 6,000 were Polish. Considering the size of the camp (over Page 5 60 acres) and the number of buildings (about 85), the camp could be considered a small town in itself. It was also near the Poznan-Szececin railway which was located near the German-Polish border. When the kriegsgefangenen-lagergeld lost its value and was withdrawn from circulation, the prisoners from Oflag II-C issued their own camp money. The money was known as "CREDIT UNION SCRIP" and was issued in different series. The notes came in values of: 1. 10 fenigow 48 mm x 37 mm blue paper Serial AI and All 2. 10 fenigow 51 mm x 45 mm blue paper Serial All, AIII & MV 3. 50 fenigow 65 mm x 50 mm cream paper Serial AI and AII 4. 50 fenigow 55 mm x 35 mm cream paper Serial AII, AIII & AIV 5. 1 mark 92 mm x 60 mm cream paper Serial A and B 6. 2 mark 82 mm x 55 mm grayish paper Serial A and B 7. 5 mark 92 mm x 60 mm grayish paper Serial A and B 8. 10 mark 115 mm x 70 mmgrayish paper Serial A Fig. 4. 50 fenigow, serial III scrip used at Camp Woldenberg. It is undated and 55 mm x 35 mm in size. The fractional currency (10 and 50 fenigow) was unsigned and without serial number. The 1, 2, 5 and 10 mark notes were signed by the camp commander but were also without serial number. The 2 mark is the only note with an illustration. It depicts a tower on the left side and the camp name (Camp Woldenberg) is printed on the right. The Polish text states "Kasa samopomocy ob IIC (self-help bank officer camp II C). The money remained in circulation until the camp closed on January 25, 1945. The prisoners were transferred to Oflag VILA (Camp Murnau). They were formed into ranks, six abreast, and marched about 300 miles to their new camp. Of the 7,000 who started the march, only 300 survived the grueling journey. The camp was moved inside the Polish border when the allied powers agreed in 1945 to return to Poland the German territory east of the Oder and Neisse Rivers, including the southern part of East Prussia. The town where the camp was located has been re-named "Dobiegniew". OFLAG VII-A Camp Oflag VII-A (Murnau) was located outside the town of Murnau, in Bavaria, near the southern border of Germany. The camp was established on November 6, 1942, and remained in operation until its closure in 1945. Page 6 Whole No. 97 Like the other camps for Polish officers, the prisoners issued their own camp currency to replace the depreciated German kriegsgefangenen-lagergeld. The new currency was known as "CLEARING COMMISSION SCRIP" and was issued in values of 1 fenig (65 mm x 47 mm), 10 fenig (87 mm x 58 mm), 50 fenig (83 mm x 62 mm), 1 and 5 mark both the same size (83 mm x 62 mm). cigarette parity. Two English or two American cigarettes were the equivalent of one unit of the camp money. The writer welcomes hearing from anyone who may have any information regarding these issues and also any other Polish prisoner of war issue. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT All the notes have a prefix letter A followed by a serial number, except the 1 fenig. They are unsigned; they have, however, a rounded square official red overstamp. Centered in the stamp is the date 2-XI (November) 1944, surrounded with the text "komisja rorvachumkowa" (commission for settlement). The two-line text on the note when roughly translated states "bon waznu tvlkowof ob jenc VII A rozkazgt mezazauf ania N 45/44" (money only for officers' camp VII A order from middle man No. 45/44). The money remained in circulation until the advancing allied forces forced the German authorities to evacuate the camp on April 28, 1945. All the prisoners were forced to march across Germany to be established in new prison camps. Fig. 5. Oflag VII-A (Camp Murnau), 10 fenig. Polish prison officers referred to this money as "Clearing Commission Scrip". CONCLUSION I owe a debt of thanks to Angus Bruce who patiently supplied valuable data from his collection. I am also particularly grateful to Wally Pawlowski for his excellent advice and contribution on the Camp Woldenberg issues. REFERENCES BARKER, A. J. — Behind Barbed Wire, London, England, 1974.

Appendix German Prisoner of War Camps During World War II This is a list of known German prisoner of war camps which were established during World War II. It is not necessarily complete, but is the most exhaustive one to date. In January 1945, the Russian advances found many camps being moved from the eastern front to the west. There they would merge with other camps and in most cases lost their individual camp identity. All prisoner of war camp money used by the Polish officers, although named differently and with different denominations, performed the same function. It was used in canteens and for an internal postal system. The notes were crudely printed on one side only on unwatermarked paper and without illustrations (except the 2 mark used at Oflag II C). They were considered bank of issue and all the camps based the money on It is not known if each camp used the German Wehrmacht (army) prison camp money; however, money used in the prison camps can be identified by a rubber stamp marking of the camp number in Roman numerals on the obverse or reverse side of the notes. The writer would welcome hearing from anyone who may have information on camps which used the prison money in order to compile an up-to-date listing. OFLAG (OFFIZERLAGER) A CAMP FOR OFFICERS A.

Wismer, Obsolete Note Pioneer By Richard T. Hoober As a result of the tremendous growth of interest in the obsolete paper money field, notably within the last decade, our SPMC President, Wendell Wolka, suggested that it might be appropriate at this time to republish two previously written articles concerning Mr. Wismer, the outstanding pioneer. His monumental research remains today the cornerstone of all subsequent works in this area. The earlier article, written by his daughter, Mrs. C. E. W. Osmun, was published in Paper Money, Spring, 1964. The latter was included in the January/February, 1975, issue, written by myself, which was of a more biographical nature. Accordingly, the following is a compilation of the two, with added recent observations, for the benefit of the many newer members of our Society who have become fascinated with obsolete notes and scrip. To most of us working to up-date Mr. Wismer's original listings, state by state, his name has remained something of a mystery, surrounded by legend. A very few of us who knew him personally as a regular attendant at the meetings of the Philadelphia Coin Club (of which I was president during World War II), can testify that he was always eager to share his knowledge with others through his many addresses to the club and his writings. One talk given before the club was published in the May, 1939, issue of The Numismatist; it recounted his many experiences relative to coin and note collecting from the time he developed an active interest about 1885. David Cassell Wismer was born in Hilltown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, March 25, 1857, the youngest of seven children. He was educated in a small country school and then worked at his brother Jacob's country store in Silverdale. He later returned to his father's farm, which was then owned by another brother, Joel. On September 19,1878, he married Annie R. Roberts, and located at West Point, Pennsylvania, where he learned the machinist trade. He was instrumental in organizing the West Point Public Library, contributing generously of his time, money and books. After the Blizzard of '88, he moved to Quakertown, where he started a machine and repair shop of his own, and where he gradually became involved in numismatics. Following a few other moves, he finally settled in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, in 1919. The Wismer marriage was blessed with seven children, of whom Mrs. Edward F. Osmun was the youngest, and who resided with him until his death May 31,1949. The accompanying picture was taken outside a coin shop on a Philadelphia street in the autumn of 1939; he was then 82 years of age. During the American Numismatic Association convention held in Philadelphia in 1941, Mr. Wismer was elected to honorary membership No. 36 for having compiled his "Descriptive List of Obsolete Paper Money," state by state, which had appeared serially in The Numismatist from the June, 1922, issue, concluding Paper Money in 1943. He was an enthusiastic collector of paper money for more than 51 years, specializing in that long - neglected period of our nation's monetary history, 1781 - 1886, commonly termed the "Wildcat Banking Era," which spanned the colonial period and the Civil War, at which time the United States government made its initial emission of paper money. As our SPMC - sponsored obsolete note project continues to expand, those of our members who are working so diligently in this great effort must come to the realization that the listing of approximately 20,000 notes (excluding private scrip, which Wismer did not include), together with their descriptions, constituted a truly outstanding contribution in this area of research. A man of rather modest means, he had no thought of personal gain for his labors. Although he was interested in stamps, coins and books, he was especially fond of the old bank notes. Dealers would set aside in a cigar box such notes as might come their way, awaiting Mr. Wismer's visit. They were always glad to dispose of the unwanted notes at five or ten cents each. Almost without fail, D. C. would know at a glance whether or not he had ever seen a similar note, when such would be shown for his examination, and he was often complimented by his friends on his remarkable ability right up to his final illness. In response to one of his customer's letters, he wrote in the 1930's: "I have some bank notes to offer but none are broken; some are torn and ragged. If you want bank notes, say bank notes. There are only bank notes in my own collection, and scrip (paper money not issued by bank), etc. In order to give you an understanding of some of the Civil War scrip notes, I am sending you one unsigned that Joshua Fiero, Jr., used at Catskill, New York, when he needed it for change, on the Tanner's Bank. It was a check they would pay a man if he would present sufficient numbers of them amounting to $5.00. Thus, his account would be charged by the bank, just as with any other check. The fact of the Tanner's Bank being willing to pay them gave the scrip a local currency. Do you understand? You may keep the Joshua Fiero, Jr. scrip note with my compliments." In another letter, dated February 15, 1937, he wrote: "I would be greatly obliged if you would discontinue the use of the term broken bank notes. As a matter of fact, it was started by a few dealers in 1905. The Hon. John Jay Knox in his 800 page book A History of Banking in the United States, published in 1900, never used 'broken' when writing about the early banks and their issues ...." Further discourse on the same theme, written in 1937, refers to the West River Bank, Jamaica, Vermont: "Until liquidation was completed, all or any of those West River Bank notes that were issued by the bank and presented for payment were redeemed. What is the sense of calling these notes by that old term 'broken bank notes' that meant that the bank had failed and was intended to give the bank a bad name, when in many cases the notes were fully paid?" Finally, a letter written May 26, 1939, contained the following: "After the bank notes were discontinued in 1866, they were called `obolete bank notes' until about Page 9 1905. A paper money dealer then saw a note stamped `broken bank' and started to call all the old notes `broken bank notes' because he knew that many of the banks were in operation, and he could get the notes cashed by the bank of issue. One paper money man, a very eccentric person, had a list printed of the good banks of which he wanted notes. The current price he paid, or did not pay if he could avoid it, was 10c to 25c for notes he could cash in at face value from $5 to $10 or more, depending upon denomination. "For a number of years dealers and collectors have followed suit in using the word 'broken,' but I have been writing to many of them in an effort to have the use of the word discontinued. My advice is followed by many now, and I am in hopes of eliminating it altogether. "These old bank notes have a great historic value because our present currency is a direct descendant of the old bank notes and paper money as formerly current. Most of the notes were printed from steel engraved plates that were the work of the best artists of the period and are real works of art. Of course, the good, genuine bank notes are becoming very rare. One drawback is that there are many counterfeits of the genuine notes. You ought to see one of those old Counterfeit Detectors that every business man was almost compelled to have on hand to know the notes that are imitations, etc." (Also, the use of the deceptive term came into rather broad usage when some banking groups, such as the Suffolk Bank and its affiliates, would stamp on notes of ANY other bank presented for payment "broken bank," denoting that the bank had closed. Many genuine notes were thus stamped in this manner in an effort to denigrate the currency of competitors! (Misuse of the term "script" has gained acceptance by some dealers and collectors in lieu of the correct term "scrip." It was also used by some of the issuers. The dictionary definition of scrip is a certificate given in place of money, whereas script refers to handwriting, or printed type designed to look like handwriting, or a manuscript, or the written material for a play.) In September, 1948, D. C. and Mrs. Wismer, then 88 years of age, celebrated their seventieth wedding anniversary. The family, including four great - grandchildren and many friends helped to mark the occasion. Be was truly a "gentle-man" and friend to all who knew him.

"%a. Photocopy Counterfeits (From the Des Moines Register Oct. 28,1981. Furnished to SPMC by George W. Brett.) KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP)—A federal grand jury has indicted a Des Moines, Ia., man on a counterfeiting charge after investigators alleged he used a photocopy machine to print hundreds of $1 bills he later began feeding into bill changers in Missouri. Steven Terry Wilson, 31, pleaded innocent during an appearance before U. S. Magistrate Judge Calvin Hamilton. Wilson was arrested Oct. 15 at a Bethany, Mo., laundry. Police alleged he was feeding photocopied $1 bills into a bill changer when an officer noticed the bills were white instead of green. Federal affidavits alleged Wilson used a coin- operated photocopy machine at a Des Moines supermarket to copy seven $1 bills 65 times, producing 455 bogus $1 bills. A few photocopied bills turned up Oct. 13 in a bill changer at Liberty, Mo., investigators said. Seventy- seven bogus bills were discovered the next day in a bill changer at Cameron, Mo. Joseph Sheehy, assistant special agent in charge of the Secret Service in Kansas City, said attempts to use photocopies of $1 bills in bill changers is "not common but happens." He said the act is punishable by a maximum 15 years in prison and a $5,000 fine. ."...'"...1%\t\."000%. "N." ■■■ Another Variation in the Later Large Size Notes by The Rev. Frank H. Hutchins Photographs by Adriene Boutrelle Doug Murray has been an invaluable help to me in my recent studies of varieties in the paper money of the country, and he has but recently discovered a transition in the two-dollar Tillman-Morgan Legal Tenders from those without a check number on the back to the few that have one, and also a transition in the Gold Certificates of James C. Napier from the "ACT CF JULY 12, 1882" that appears above the large "X" on the face of all the tens before his time to "ACT OF MARCH 4, 1907" that appears there after it. These both appear on notes of both McClung and Thompson, creating two varieties of each of these two Friedberg numbers.

The F,ducationals show no variation whatever. It is illegal to buy, sell, or own the $10,000 Gold Certificates of the Series of 1900, which are not payable to bearer but only to the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, but the author had the good fortune to secure photographs showing the two positions of the check number on the obverse in the time of Teehee and Burke, and is happy to append them. Paper Money 71-1E PAPE7 COLI by Peter Huntoon Arizona Territorials Shipped After Statehood If a bank changes its title, it was the practice of the Comptroller of the Currency to use up existing stocks of the older notes on the bank before shipping those with new titles. The purpose of this article is to examine the shipments of Arizona territorials made after statehood day. You may be surprised to see what percentage of the total Arizona territorial issue occurred after statehood, and how long some of these shipments lasted into the state era. Shipments After Title Changes There were two events which caused the Comptroller to stop shipments of notes on hand to operating banks before the entire stock of those notes was exhausted: (1) recharterings, and (2) the change to small size in 1929. Once a bank was rechartered, all unissued notes from the previous charter period were cancelled, and shipments of the current notes were begun. Notice that within a given charter period, all the notes on hand, even those with obsolete designs such as 82DB's during the 82VB era, were used before the current designs were shipped. When Arizona went from territory to state status in 1912, the territorial plates were either replaced or modified to reflect the change. Technically this event was a title change. The Comptroller had stocks of territorial notes for every operating bank at the time of the change. In keeping with policy, all of these notes were shipped before the first state notes were sent. Page 13 In general, the smaller the bank's circulation, the longer it took to use up existing stocks of territorials. This conclusion can be drawn if you will compare the dates for the last territorial shipments on Table 1 with the circulations on Table 2. The small Tempe and Tombstone banks clearly reflect this trend. Their last territorial shipments were made on January 10, 1916, and June 29, 1915, respectively. The Tempe bank maintained a very modest circulation through the entire large note era. The few notes that were printed for the bank went a long way. Interestingly, you can see from Table 1 that two-thirds of the 1882DB territorial printing for the bank arrived after statehood! Tucson $50 and $100 Notes The 1917 territorial $50 and $100 shipments for Tucson (4287) are another story. This bank began issuing 1902DB $50 and $100 notes in 1910 and received shipments of them concurrently with its 10-10-10-20 sheets rather continuously until February 28, 1913. At that point, it had received 589 of the 50-100 sheets. The bank stopped using the higher denominations in 1913, and did not resume their use until 1916. A total of 740 1902DB 50-100 sheets had been printed for the bank, so the Comptroller sent the remaining sheets, serials 590 through 740, beginning November 14, 1916, and ending June 1, 1917. After these were gone, no $50 or $100 state notes were made for the bank and its 1917 territorials became the end of high denominations in Arizona. You can be certain that both $50 and $100 Arizona territorials from the Consolidated National Bank were in circulation through the 1920's. At least they were in teller drawers in rather high grades like older series small size $50's and $100's are today. Known Notes Post -Statehood Shipments Table 1 shows the complete record of Arizona territorials delivered after statehood day along with the dates of the last shipments. In all, a total of 365,494 Arizona territorials were issued. The 44,790 shipped after February 14, 1912, represent a little over 12 percent of the total. Notice that $50 and $100 territorials were still being sent to the Consolidated National Bank of Tucson as late as 1917! In contrast, the first 1902DB 10-10-10-20 state notes for this bank were shipped on April 17, 1913, along with the last of its 1902DB 10-10-10-20 territorials. At this writing, I have been able to document the existence of 25 Arizona territorials. Of these, four were shipped to their banks after statehood. These include the 02DB $20 on Tucson shown here, an 1882DB $5 on Prescott, a 1902DB $10 on Tombstone, and a 1902DB $10 on Nogales. Considering that there were almost 45,000 notes involved in these late shipments, this very low total is surprising. The fact remains, Arizona territorials, no matter when they were issued, are very rare. They are disproportionately rare when compared to survival rates for other territories. ,sigzam=w- 01,0100, 601804 , ortiikt tNts,1 AN it 1 440 '191.511.11110.111 $1** ; 4.

Recently it was the good fortune of Bob Cohen of Hawaii to turn up a 200-page promotional supplement published in 1915 by the Honolulu Star Bulletin that was adopted as the Official Souvenir of the Hawaii Commission honoring the completion and opening of the Panama Canal at the Panama-Pacific Exposition held in San Francisco from February 20 through December 4, 1915. The Hawaii Commission was well aware of the importance of the Canal to Hawaii, realizing its future value to the industrial and agricultural progress of the Islands resulting from the shortening of shipping routes from European, east coast South American, Canadian and United States ports by as much as 10,000 or more miles in some instances. The Souvenir Issue, although referred to by the Hawaii Commission as "PANAMA CANAL NUMBER — Industrial Section", by stressing the advantages of dealing with Islands also presented other aspects of importance such as their particularly well developed banking and financial institutions.

A study of the Maui banks also brings prominently to the fore, the surprising diversity of interests which occupy the attention of the people of Valley Isle, and at the same time indicates something of the general thrift of the community. All of the four 'auks on Maui are National Banks and all of them amply justify their existence. [The four banks were 1-Jituated within a radius of 28 miles. M.O.W.] Three of these banks — The First National Bank of Wailuku, The Lahaina National Bank of Lahaina and the First National Bank of Paia — are under the same management. Mr. C. H. Cooke of Honolulu is president and Mr. C. D. Lufkin of Wailuku is cashier of each. In a combined statement as of June 30, 1914, this chain of banks showed assets amounting to $634,023.34 with deposits of $429,508.28, and a surplus and profit account of $57,204.10. Loans as indicated amount to $315,476.04. The combined capital stock is $85,000.00, The business indicated in these figures is not "Sugar Business" as these banks are not plantation banks, but depend entirely on individuals and small business firms.

The oldest bank on Maui is the First National Bank of Wailuku which was organized in November of 1901, by Mr. C. D, Lufkin. The Lahaina National Bank was established in April of 1906, while the First National Bank of Paia opened its doors for business on October 20, 1913. The First National Bank of Wailuku was successful from the start. Its capital at that time was $25,000.00, but was increased to $35,000.00 two years later. A dividend of six percent per annum was paid for the first three years, after which eight percent was paid up to 1912, when it was possible to pay twelve percent. At this time also the earned surplus amounting to $47,000.00 exceeded the capital. Of the $194,045.80 outstanding as loans but a very small part is based on sugar cane collateral. During the year past, when sugar securities were especially depressed, the Bank of Wailuku had only $11,000.00 loaned on sugar stocks, out of over $200,000,000 outstanding at the time. The officers and directors of the First National Bank of Wailuku are: C. H. Cooke, president; D. H. Case, 2nd, vice - president; C. D. Lufkin, cashier and manager, and J . Garcia, assistant cashier.

The First National Bank of Paia, Maui The First National Bank of Paia has been doing business for a short time but is making a good start. The capital is $25,000.00 and deposits on July 1st amounted to $26,000.00. Loans amounted to $32,631.24. This bank is the only one on Maui which owns its property. A handsome and substantial concrete building houses the business, with fixtures represents an outlay of about $4,500. The Bank is but two years old. The management of the bank consists of C. H. Cooke, president; R. A. Wadsworth, vice-president; C. D. Lufkin, cashier and manager; W. 0. Aiken, assistant cashier; directors, D. H. Case and J. Garcia.

Paia's chief source of revenue was from the workers in a sugar mill. No notes have surfaced from this bank; however in the Society of Paper Money Collectors publication Territorials (1980) proof specimens are shown as well as those of charter 5994, Wailuku. (This circulation data did not appear in the Hawaii Souvenir Section.) The Baldwin National Bank of Kahuli (Privately owned and the largest bank on the island of Maui) The rapid development of central Maui and the growing importance of Kahuli as a commercial and shipping center were the main factors which resulted in the organization of The Baldwin National Bank of Kahuli in 1906. The late H. P. Baldwin was the prime mover in this enterprise, S. M. Damon of Honolulu being also prominentny associated with him in establishing the bank. That the bank was needed was demonstrated at once by the success which it had from the start. The bank was capitalized at $50,000 and at the present time it carries a surplus of $30,000, together with commercial deposits amounting to $330,00. The Bank carries loans to the amount of $285,00 for the most part in small amounts. The principal business of the bank is of course in handling the funds needed in the operation of the sever- al big Alexander and Baldwin plantations, ranch and irrigation companies on Maui, which before the establishment of the bank was attended by more or less inconvenience and loss of time. It is also a great convenience in facilitating the heavy shipping business of the port; many individuals all over the island have been glad to avail themselves of its accommodations. At the present time the Baldwin National Bank is carrying quite a number of loans made to the new homesteaders in the Haiku district to enable them to plant pineapples. The bank has a savings department with small deposits aggregating $140,000 upon which 4% interest is paid. There are some 1000-odd depositors in this department. Marine and fire insurance also forms quite an important part of the banks' business. Since its organization, the direct management of the hank has been in the hands of D. C. Lindsay, as cashier, to whose good judgement and energy no small part of the success achieved is due.

Historical notes on the Ohio Canal and the Miami Extension Canal (Issue II). Quotes from the past (Issue III). The Scripophilist's Library (Issue IV). Out-of-print books (Issue IV). The second part of the LaBarre program comprises a series of soft-cover, 100-page-plus finely printed books in an oblong format, 81/2 x 71/2. Thus far three such volumes called Collecting Stocks and Bonds have been issued, all with a uniform cover of a montage of stocks and bonds against a distinctive color identifying each volume. Contents of each consist of a brief introduction to the hobby, a statement of grading terms, and advice on storage, display and preservation. Then follow illustrations with brief descriptive captions of various classes of stocks and bonds together with selling price. (These classes are: railroad stocks, railroad bonds, mining stocks, mining bonds, general stocks, and general bonds.) Altogether 1,158 items are illustrated and described. Therefore, while these books can be viewed as a dealer's price list, they also function as interim catalogs of what the author calls a broad sampling of these classe'S of U. S. material.

Durand AN OSTENTATIOUS SIGNATURE Vanity Signatures Collectors of paper money, especially National Bank Notes, obsoletes and colonial currency, are often intrigued by the vanity signatures of the signers of the notes. Many a bank president or other officer signed notes with a signature that was either unusually large, elaborate or outstanding because of some other reason. In many cases it seemed that the officer wanted an impressive signature to be remembered by when he signed the notes. Care was taken to display his signature and it often was the most prominent feature on the note. Leading men in the community, men of wealth and position, were usually chosen to direct the banking institutions and their signatures reflected their pride. These vanity signatures were not always neat or legible because of the numbers of notes that had to be signed but they were outstanding and quite obvious when one scrutinizes the notes. The signature on a note is a good clue to the type of man that was in charge of the bank. These men often developed a signature just for the occasion of signing important documents and of course, bank notes. One of the most famous vanity signatures has to be that of John Hancock. It is so famous that it is used today as a trademark of the John Hancock Insurance Company, one of the giants of the insurance industry. But long before it was the trademark of the insurance company, it was used as the title of the $3 note of the John Hancock Bank of Springfield, Massachusetts. History of the Signature John Hancock's signature can be found on several documents in the archives of the United States but the document that really made his signature famous was "The Declaration of Independence". With this document, the signers pledged "their lives, fortunes, and their sacred honor" for the maintenance of independence. By signing this document, the signers placed their lives in great jeopardy. They immediately branded themselves as traitors to the throne of Great Britain. If this country had failed in its attempt at independence, the signers of the document would have been executed. The document contained 56 signatures. Some of the colonists, fearful for their lives, tried to disguise their signatures by writing very small or crowding their signatures between those of other signers. Patriots such as Francis Lightfoot Lee, Carter Braxton, George Read and several others seemed to want to make their names as inconspicuous as possible. Fear of embarrassment was probably the reason that they even signed in the first place. This certainly was not the case as far as John Hancock was concerned. His signature is by far the largest signature on the document. It was in the center on the top line, written with bold strokes and unmistakably his name. If ever a vanity signature was placed on paper, this is certainly a prime example. He wanted to make sure that there was no mistaking his name. History tells us that he was a vain individual and his signature attests to that fact. The John Hancock Bank The bank was incorporated on May 18, 1850 in a location that became Springfield, Massachusetts in 1852. James W. Crooks, one of the leading members of the proposed bank and a great admirer of the president of the Continental Congress of 1776, selected the name for the bank. A large white, carved, wooden bust of Hancock was a prominent fixture in front of the bank building. The bank opened for business on November 4, 1850 with a capital of $100,000. It became a National Bank (#982) in 1865 and its capital was increased to $150,000. The first president of the bank was Colonel James M. Thompson. After his death he was succeeded by Roger S. Moore, who ultimately resigned and was succeeded by the original cashier of the bank who served in that post for 50 years, Edmond D. Chapin. E. Dudley Chapin, the new president's nephew, became the cashier. The bank went into liquidation on March 28, 1906 with $235,300 outstanding in National Bank Notes and an unknown amount of state bank notes. About the Note The bank had only one issue of state bank notes before the National Bank era. These notes were issued in the denominations $1, $2, $3, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100. The $5 bears a portrait of John Hancock as the center vignette. His portrait also appears on the left side of the $20 bill. As far as I can determine, the signature as the title of the bank only appears on the $3 bill. The only other denomination that I have seen was a $10 and the title was printed in block style lettering. The "Descriptive Register of Genuine Bank Notes," 1862, (Continued On Page 20) Page 20 Whole No. 97 Organized in 1799 under charter from Czar Paul I, the Russian-American Company set up headquarters at the rich sea otter grounds in the Alexander Archipelago at Sitka on Baranof Island in southern Alaska. Thus the stage was set for the issuance in 1816 of what may well be the world's most fascinating currency — Walrus Skin money. Erroneously referred to as "Sealskin" money, these notes were produced by a most ingenious method. Otter skins were shipped by the R.A.C. to China in waterproof bags made of walrus skin. The bags were removed at the Chinese ports and reused to wrap shipments of spices, teas, etc. bound for Russian ports. Because of the variety of products shipped in them, the walrus bags were affected in different ways, accounting for the variety of colors in the skins. At the Russian ports the bags were removed again and select pieces were cut from them and stamped with the value and devices of the R.A.C. for use as money in the North American colony. Called Kozhanye (skins), the notes were produced until the 1830's. During those years three issues, totalling 102,000 rubles, circulated at company settlements as far south as what is now central California. Known denominations include the 10, 25 and 50-kopeks, and 1, 5, 10 and 25-rubles. These are all catalogued under item 53, page 253 in the Kardakoff catalog (see Bibliography). Apparently the first issue included notes in color. The low numbered pieces are known in shades of blue, brown, red and tan, while the later notes occur mostly with black printing on light colored parchment. It is known that this currency was designed for easy identification by the locals who, for the most part, could neither read nor write. The 10-kopek notes can be identified by holes punched in both upper corners, while the 25-kopek notes are clipped on all four corners. The Interesting Notes 'Bout Interesting Notes (Continued From Page 19) by Gwynne and Day, calls attention to imitations of this $3 bill. No other denomination from this bank is so noted. It seems to be more than coincidence that the note with the Hancock signature was counterfeited. The note was probably subject to little scrutiny and readily acceptable because of the signature in the design. This bill was supposed to have been engraved by Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear and Company, New York and Philadelphia, but it is counterfeit. Only three or four specimens have come on the market in the last ten years and they are quite scarce. As for collectors of notes with vanity signatures, this certainly has to be a desirable addition to a collection. REFERENCES The Declaration of Independence, by Thomas Jefferson.

Alaska was purchased from Russia by the United States in 1867, at which time all remaining Russian - American Company notes were redeemed with Russian state credit notes. Pictured herewith is the only known example of the 25-ruble note. It is similar in design to the other "skins" bearing the R.A.C. seal on the face and a machine- turned oval on the back, with the words NOTE IN AMERICA 25 RUBLES (in Cyrillic text) and the handwritten number. This note has the later style eagle as opposed to the "maritime eagle" of the other issues, and also a round seal instead of the standard oval type of the other denominations. Additionally, the text within the seal is completely spelled out, translating as UNDER THE HIGH PATRONAGE OF HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY. Measuring 66 by 90 millimeters, the specimen has black printing on yellowish-tan parchment with the hand-inked serial number 1060 in black. Originally part of the Brussels or Pflumer collection, this major rarity now belongs to the author.

There are six other notes from that find not listed above, making the total known figure 53. The Moscow find consisted of three 10-kopek, one 25-kopek, one 40-kopek, two 1-ruble, two 5-ruble, and two 10-ruble notes. A few of the recent prices for these Alaskan notes indicate all are of the highest rarity and desirability.

OWEN WARNS NLG RARE '14000' CHARTER SERIES SHEET SURFACES We are pleased to illustrate the No. 1 sheet, type - II, $20 notes issued by the First National Bank of Cecil, Pennsylvania, charter 14094. Only 32 sheets of six notes each were issued, total - 192 $20 notes - $3840. The original First National Bank of Cecil, Pennsylvania was granted charter 7076 in 1903 and capitalized at $25,000. The initial bank officers were Adam Wagner, president, and C. W. Benney, cashier. The bank was liquidated during the depression on May 19, 1934. Later in the same year the bank was reorganized as The First National Bank of Cecil, when it was granted charter 14094, thus succeeding the original bank. The surfacing of this rare sheet is a source of encouragement to the most skeptical collector who doubted rarities such as the Cecil notes would ever be reported. Collectors have become inspired with confidence to report the notes with which they have come in contact. The Cecil sheet reported here will most certainly warm the cockles of the ardent researcher's heart. COURTESY — DAVID KOLBE The First National Bank of Cecil, Pennsylvania, signed by John F. Wagner, cashier, and S. F. Beaurnariage, president. Information on Large Size Star Notes Sought A research project was begun in the mid-seventies by Doug Murray of Michigan to catalog all large size star notes. These notes were used by the BEP to replace the defective large size currency that was printed from 1910 to 1929. The project has since become a nation-wide effort; information contributed by collectors and dealers has resulted in a list of over 1500 large size star notes. Among other data, this project has yielded valuable information on the relative scarcity of large star notes. For instance, only one specimen has been reported for quite a few notes, while nearly a hundred, or more, are known for others. Current plans are to publish an inexpensive soft- cover catalog containing the entire list, approximate valuations, comments on varieties, etc., in 1982. This is a final appeal to all collectors and dealers, who have not done so already, to contribute information on their large size star notes to make the list as complete as possible; your identities will be held confidential. Please send the following information to Doug Murray, P. 0. Box 2, Portage, Michigan 49081: 1) Type of note. 2) Serial number. 3) Signature combination. 4) Face plate number and position letter. 5) Back plate number. 6) Approximate grade of note.

The original intended issue of 2500 was never reached, due to problems involving the gold printing of the union triangle and capital "T" at the start of the text. According to knowledgeable sources, very few of the misprinted cards (without the gold printing) were released, and as such, will no doubt bring spirited bidding from the growing ranks of souvenir card collectors.

Initial planning for your Society's 1982 programs and activities is well underway. As you will note in the Coming Events Page, a number of regional and national meetings are already scheduled for the coming year. Other popular programs such as the souvenir card and obsolete currency catalog series will be continued in 1982 as well. We hope to publish at least one and possibly two books during the coming year. Our 1982 souvenir card will be issued at the Memphis Coin Club's International Paper Money Show in June. Dues Are Due! This is my first gentle reminder that 1982 dues are now due. As mentioned in the last magazine issue for 1981, dues are now $12. Your cooperation in renewing promptly will help to minimize the costs of sending out "second notice" statements. Please note that your 1982 membership card is enclosed with your dues statement. We are taking this approach this year to absolutely assure that you promptly receive your membership card and to save nearly $1,000 which would be required to make a separate mailing of membership cards at a later date. Each year, five members are elected to three-year terms on the Board of Governors. I have appointed the following nominating committee to develop a slate of candidates for your consideration for this year's election: —Harry Wigington - Chairman (P. 0. Box 1538, Erie, Pa. 16507) —Martin Delger (323 Dawnlee Ave., Kalamazoo, Mich. 49002) —Peter Huntoon (P. 0. Box 3681, Laramie, Wyo. 82071) If you have any ideas regarding potential candidates for Governor, anyone on the committee would be pleased to hear from you. Additionally, candidates can be put on the ballot by petition. In order to exercise this option, a petition, signed by ten members in good standing, as well as the proposed candidate's written acceptance must be in the Secretary's hands by no later than March 1, 1982. Mail ballots will be distributed in the May/June issue of Paper Money. Results of the election will be announced at the General Membership Meeting at the ANA convention in Boston this coming August. Those Governors whose terms expire this year are Mike Crabb, C. John Ferreri, Richard Jones, Bob Medlar, and Stephen Taylor. As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to write to me at P. O. Box 366, Hinsdale, Illinois 60521. WENDELL WOLKA. P.O. Box 366, Hinsdale, IL 60521.

After a decade in research and preparation, Gerome Walton, a native Nebraska historian and numismatist, has completed this massive work. Much attention is given to the National Bank Notes and wildcat currency issues of Nebraska's banks from the 1850's through the 1930's. To sup- port the information furnished on the charter dates, bank officers, name changes, charter num- bers, and note issuance by type and denomination, photos of each bank's issue and frequently the sig- ners themselves and their bank buildings are pre- sented. In some instances a history of the town as well as the banks it supported is offered. The book is a milestone in many respects and is unlikely to ever be duplicated in scope or for any other area due to the tremendous amount of research covering the entire state and scores of museums and libra- ries, historians, genealogists, and paper money collectors.

Wasney (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, October 20, 1929 — "Dangerou,s money" is the way Louis A. Hill, former director of the U. S. Bureau of Engraving describes the new small currency now being circulated by the government. Hill has asked the Senate Banking and Currency Committee to investigate issuance of the new currency by the Treasury. He contends the small notes are poorly made, and therefore easily counterfeited. Hill recommended that the small money be withdrawn from circulation to prevent the country being flooded with bogus notes, thus off-setting the saving the government makes in substituting bills one-third smaller than the old issue. While only one case of counterfeiting the new currency has been reported to the Treasury secret service, it was learned that hundreds of people from every section of the country have written to Secretary Mellon protesting the change in money sizes. Writers contended the smaller notes cause confusion and errors and that the larger bills were easily handled. Hill wrote the committee the new "Flivver" sized bills were the "poorest, confessedly the cheapest and without doubt, the most dangerous issue of United States currency in history." He predicted public opinion would require its withdrawal from circulation. "It is true that through the changes made in the issue of notes the sum of $1,500,000 will be saved annually in the Bureau. "But it is worthwhile to save this amount to be lost through making the way easier for the counterfeiter? If you have in your possession a $10 counterfeit bill it is a dead loss, as the government does not insure against that nor will it think of refunding the value of goods which you gave when you took this bill." Hill pointed out that since 1862 all United States money, except small fractional currency known as "shin plasters" had been of the same size. He said the old sized notes had become the world standards of excellence. (This report was furnished to us by C. M. Nielson of Salt Lake City, Utah.

That is, if we have two collections with a Fr. 282 in it in Unc and one in XF, we will not accept another one in these grades (unless it is part of a collection). We just don't need the commission so badly that we will dilute our market for you, the consignor. C. We don't "lot up" a group of your notes just because they may be slightly inferior in grade or price. D. We won't misuse your trust in us. We both came from collecting backgrounds and, even though we are deriving income from these sales, we realize the collector is the important party in these transactions and our decisions are influenced by this. E. We don't hide behind a flock of staff. In fact, we keep our overhead down so we can sell your notes for less commission. We will be glad to talk with you and correspond with you about your collection and its sale. We will appraise your notes for you in advance and these appraised figures usually become the estimate on the lots as they are sold, after we receive your input.

HODGES' AMERICAN BANK NOTE SAFE-GUARD by Edward M. Hodges 1865. 350 pp Cloth bound. 1977 reprint by Pennell Publishing Co. $19.50 postpaid. "HodgeS' " as this book is known, contains descriptions of over 10,000 genuine notes from 30 states, 19 Canadian banks, and the United States notes issued prior to 1865. This 1865 edition was copyrighted in 1864 and at this time the United States was at war with the Confederate States. As a result the listing for six Southern states was not included because they were not a part of the United States. Louisiana was included as in 1864 it was occupied by Union troops under the infamous General Butler. West Virginia was added to this edition as it seceded from Virginia and join the Union in 1863. We have added a sectior, from the 1863 edition (copyrighted in 1862) containing the six states deleted fcorn the 1865 edition making this reprint the most comprehensive Hodges' ever printed. The format used consists of three rows of ten notes listed in rectangles on each page. To quote from E.M. Hodges "The SAFEGUARD is almost indispensable." Collectors will agree with him. We bound 10 copies in genuine leather and interleaved them with plain paper (for your own notes) and offer them subject to prior sale for $75.00 each. THE BANK OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA by Dr. F. Mauldin Lesesne 1970. 221 pp Hand bound. University of South Carolina Press $14.95 postpaid. The South had many colorful banks prior to the Civil War, but few could compare with the Bank of the State of South Carolina. From its charter in 1812 until 1881 when its history ended, it was colorful, controversial, and redeemed its issued notes. The "faith and credit" of the State of South Carolina was pledged to back this bank. Dr. Lesesne's account of this bank is interesting reading to both collector of paper money and historical students. Few banks have such detailed accounts of their life as the Bank of the State of South Carolina. The book is annotated and has a wonderful bibliography. If yOu only read one bank history, and should read this one as it will interest both South Carolinians and non-Carolinians alike. It is just an excellent story of a very important bank.
