Grim Agents Guard
The Denver Mint

Should the warped mind Of a
desperate conceive a plan to roo
the mint and attempt to put it
into effect, however, the outside
guards would be the first to face
them.
Fantastic though the possibility
may appear, Uncle Sam takes no
chances.
Always on Scene
Every casual passerby is an ob
ject of suspicion. Should pedes-
trian stop to tie his shoe, an auto
mobile t. be circlng the block,
or even a child rush to the barred
windows to peer in, his intentions
would be questioned.
The A guards are grim, silent,
nameless men. They can't pass the
time of day with friends. Their
names a.'e not to be learned from
their Superiors. Each is armed, a
heavy automatic pistol hanging
but a few inches from ready
fingers, although invisible.
The guards are not in uniform.
They stand on their corners. mingle
with pedestrians passing on the
sidewalk, make themselves incon
spicuouS in every way. But they
are on the job "a hours a day,
ready at all times to resist any
attempt TO seize the stored billions.
