finality that leaves no room for argu-
ment. You briefly outline the pur-
pose of your visit. When you have
finished your discourse ne pushes two
or three buttons: an instant or two
later IN comes the head of this or

the visitor will be brought to their
part Of the bureau by one of the
guides little later on.
A S money, stamps, bonds, etc, are
all printed from plates that re-
veal the beauty of the engravers' art,
your first visit is to the engraving di-
vision, the chief of which is George
U. Rose. jr., one of the most efficient
men in the government service today.
Mr.. Rose, who has been with the de-
partment for thirty-eight years, en-
tered the service as an apprentice
boy and worked his way up to the
head of the division. 1t is from this
division that the design for all forms
of money in use both in the United
States and in it's insular possessions
are designed and the plates made
from which the securities are printed.
Here. also, are designed and made the
plates for all stamps. bonds and notes.
The use of the word note should be
explained at this juncture-promises
extending to a period of five years or
more are called bonds, for lesser
term the word note is employed. The
money such as you carry in your
pocketbook comes under the claSsi-
fication of bills. The highest denomi-
nations run to ten thousand dollars,

ly used entirely for this purpose.
This condition necessitated the de-
velopment of some new method OF
making the plates. When electro
were first Investigated it was found
that, although accurate reproductions
could thus be secured, plates which
were similar to the ordinary electro
types. or even plates consisting en-
tirely of electro-deposited copper did
not possess sufficient strength to
Withstand the pressures used in plate
printing.
While conducting experiments in
this connection George U. Ross. jr,
chief Of the engraving division OF the
bureau. discovered that by the depo--
sition of alternate layers OF nickel
and copper it was possible to produce
plates having the strength necessary
for the above purpose. This process
of depositing alternate layers OF cop
per and nickel. which has been pat
ented by Mr.. Rose, is the method now
used.
The more rigid requirements of
plates to be used in plate" or in
taglio" printing arise from the fact
that in this process the designs
(Which are all below the plane sur
face of the plate) are filled with ink.
and in order to cause the paper to
pick up this ink considerable pressure
is required. On the other hand. in
using ordinary printing plates (upon
which the characters are in relief the
lightest possible pressure is used be-
tween the paper and the type. Because
of the greater pressure required in
using engraved plates. there is
tendency for these plates to curve in
use unless they are sufficiently rigid
to retain their FORM Another spe-
cial requirement for plate printing

tional currency bureau. This was
shortly changed to the bureau of en-
craving and printing. The first chiet
of the bureau started work with one
male and four female assistants. The
bureau in March, 1921, mao on JUS
pay roll 1869 employees; six or seven
hundred of these have been dropped
since that date. The actual work OF
engraving began November 20. 1862,
with two engravers and one trans
ferer. They worked upon the plates
of the third and fourth series OF the
five-twenty coupon bonds and frac-
tional currency. The last work taken
over from private contractors was
the printing of postage stamps In
1894.
For the fiscal year ending June so.

JUST what does the printed piece
of paper we call money mean
4 to you when you take it out of
your bill fold? What does the
stamp that you place on your letter
bring to your mind? What does the
bond that you place away for safe
keeping in your strong box mean?
The latter. perhaps, brings to mind
only one thought-that it represents
a certain purchasing power. The

Your letter or package. The bill you
regard as something with which to

of these pieces of paper are worth

faith in the s.eu..ity of the govern
ment which issues them. Unless you
are a cashier or teller of bank and
have been warned to beware of coun-
terfel,s, you pay. but scant heed to
these examples of the engraver's art,
and you give but little if any thought
to the magnificent effort that has been
put into these little promises put out
by the government.
The bureau of engraving and print
ing designs. prints and distributes all
the securities that are used in this
country. While Europeans have often

gold currency, hundred-thousand-dol-
lar bonds and certificates of indebted
ness of the same amount.
Contrary to the general belief. every
new issue of bills or bonds is not a
complete new work of the engraver:
Portions of the designs and other
parts are taken from the engraving
stock on hand. The reason for this
is that the portrait and other fine
work which is shown on the face and
back of our securities would require
the services of engravers from periods
of from three weeks to six months
This extreme care as we'll as artistic
achievement has largely been the
means of making our money the naro-
est in the world to counterfeit rake,

distinguished citizens whose portraits
appear; take also the scroll work and
other decorations, these master
plates are kept in stock; Dorders'
seals, etc. of other issues. may form
mart of new issue. This is truly an
economy of effort and time.
When a new series of money or
bonds is required steel rolls are mace
on which is reproduced the deslre9
portion. These. in turn. are useo
upon softer steel plates and by TINS
combination of parts a new series
comes into being. The plates are
then ready to be placed in their bath
of cyanide of potassium and are neat
ed to sixteen hundred and thirty de-
grees. the smaller plates enjoying
three-minute bath, the larger ones
staying in for four minutes. After
this they are dipped and carried away
to be treated for requisite hardness
and cleaned from any trace OF FOR
eign matter by a treatment OF acids.
There is never any printing done from
the original plate. The plates from.

when used a continuous imprint Is

consisting of the beveling of these
rolls so that they will not warp. The
Impressions taken from these run
from thirty thousand to three hun
dred thousand per plate.
Mr.. Rose is the inventor Of an cleo
trolytic process which has in many
ways revolutionized' the Industry. On
all government securities facsimiles
of the proper officials are part of the

the signatures needed are written in
by hand, but in larger institutions
the bills, after being received by these
private institutions. are turned over
to some banknote company and the
signatures printed thereon. Up un-
til the latter part of the sixties, when
Gen. Spinner was Secretary Of the
Treasury, signatures were written. in
by the Secretary OF the Treasury, but
this plan was abandoned because it
became physical impossibility, for
the Secretary of the Treasury to
write his signature on all the bills that
were printed by the government.
