with the exception of the small metal slot for the reception of the coin, it can readily be carried without lncon- venience in any pocket. Being pliable and flexible, 1t readily conforms to the shape of the pocket. The idea of the inventor Is to make these pocket savings banks as cheaply as possible, so that they must be destroyed to re- move the contents. A new one can then be purchased at an outlay of few cents.
