Toy Manufacturer Quits
Making Penny Banks
NEW YORK, t/P)—A toy manu
facturer announced her firm
would turn out no more penny
banks—just those that take nick
. els, dimes and quarters.
Mrs. Ann Payson, head of a
Hackensack, N.J., toy company,
, said the changeover was due to
the copper shortage and the
penny’s lost appeal to children.
Pennies buy very little today,
she said, “and most children do
not show much appreciation for
anything less than a dime.’*

Fur Seals Bring Average
Price of $89.76 Per Skin
In St. Louis Auction
ST. LOUIS, (/P)—Prices on seal
skins, most of them from Alaska,
dropped 12 per cent from last
April’s prices in the semi-annual
government auction at the Fouke
Fur Company Monday.
The average price for an esti
mated 30,000 skins was $39.76 a
skin. Most of the drop was in the
higher priced types. A reduced de
mand for those types was caused
by high prices for necessities and
high taxes, a spokesman said.
About 80 per cent of the skins
were sold for the U. S. 'govern
ment. The rest came from the
Union of South Africa and some
private shippers.

son, and in raised letters the in
scription ‘to the people of Japan '
with prayers .for an everlasting;
