CONVICT'S INVENTION IS
APPROVED BY BANKERS
Mechanical Device Now on Exhi'
bition in Spring Street

One of the most unique mechanical
devices ever placed on the market is
now being shown at 127 South Spring
street. where the National Cash Pro-
tector is on display. The invention,
which, it is claimed, will make forgery
and the raising of checks an impossi-
bility, is the work of Frederick Hoff-
man, San Quentin convict.
Hoffman first constructed a wooden
model of his machine and was aided
in this by Warden Hoyle of the prison.
Since that time influential persons who
have seen the machine in operation de-
clare it to be the most wonderful de-
vice of it's kind on the market, and
steps are being taken to bring about
Hoffman's pardon.
The machine, which resembles an
adding machine, is used with code
which enables each bank and busi-
ness house not only to identify every
check, but also the person presenting
same. Hoffman's invention already
has been approved Of by nearly every
prominent banker of Los Angeles.
