Perkins. OF Newburyp0rt. Perkins went to
England and associated himself with one of the
most noted engravers of the day. He got I'M

adopt. 1t had the head of George w. repeated

thoroughly look into the matter, and
he reported against the system. That
drove Perkins back here, and he established
himself in the bank-note business. Since that
