page_text: I, JOHN SHULEY, of 7 and 8, Capel Street, Dublin, Ireland, General Printer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to a new or improved cash bag and has for its
object the production of a bag which will enable the contents to be readily
visible through the tissue of same.
The invention consists essentially in the use of that class of paper commer-
cially known as transparent" or tracing" paper.
"
This material is formed into cash bags of the usual dimensions and in the
usual way.
Cash placed in a bag thus prepared will be visible from the outside so that
the bearer of such a bag or packet of money may be aware at a glance of the
specific nature of the contents, i.e., whether the same be gold, silver, or copper.
It is obvious that other transparent material may be used so long as the same
enables the contents to be visible from the outside.
I find however the material herein described to be the cheapest and most
suitable for the purpose of my invention.
By the use of such a bag the possibility of deceiving the bearer as to the
contents is obviated, while a good and useful commercial article is produced.
Dated this 20th day of October 1898.

By the use of such a bag the possibility of deceiving the bearer as to the
contents is obviated, while a good and useful commercial article is produced.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the utility of my invention.
Here the bag is supposed to contain a quantity of silver which is visible
through its transparency as shewn.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
The use and application of a transparent material such as transparent or
tracing paper or cloth in the construction of cash bags or packets, substantially
as herein described and set forth.
