MAKES HIS OWN MONEY.

Sol Stock while in San Francisco
succeeded in securing possession of a
machine which is veritable gold mine
of itself 1t is nothing less than a
device for making greenbacks. While
Sol does not yet seriously think of 60
ing out of the dry goods business yet
! in the future it will doubtless be made
a comparatively small side issue.
Whenever Sol wishes now to make a
purchase he simply places the machine
before him, inserts a strip Of blank
paper between the two rollers, turns the
crank and presto, crisp new green.
back of whatever denomination de-
sired drops out on the other side,
and Sol is supplied with the money to
pay for his purchase. The money, too,
is such that it is impossible even for
the most expert to detect any differ
ence between it and the regular "shin-
plaster" sent out by Uncle Sam. We
have seen many queer schemes for
money making but never before did
we see money turned out before our
eyes by such an apparently simple
machine.
HOW IT WORKS.
The machine, while its seems really
magical, is the essence of simplicity.
In appearance it somewhat resembles
dimInutive clothes wringer. A strip
Of black cotton cloth is wound round
one roller to the right and then goes
on the other to the left. When the
little crank is turned one roller is
winding up the cloth and the other is
unwinding it. To operate the ma
chine you turn the upper roller, and,
ifyou put the end of a greenback into
it, it is taken UP out of sight. You
load the machine up with genuine
greenbacks and it is ready for use.
Then you provide yourself with strips
of blank paper the exact size of the
national greenback, and as you insert
one on the other side of the machine,
it is taken out of sight just as the
greenback previously placed there
comes out at the turn Of tie lower
roller, and the illusion is perfect.
Sol introduced his machine to the
public yesterday morning and before
noon had manufactured (D about $500
