Silver Dollars
Appea r—Disappear
Like Magic Here
One thousand dollars in silver
dollars is now missing in Kodiak!
The recent sudden appearance in
the community of silver dollars
has caused considerable comment
and speculation as to their source.
They are for real we are told by
Von Straut, who is responsible for
their circulation here.
“These cartwheels actually cost
more than a dollar each because
we had to specially order and im
port them and the cost of bringing
them up was considerable,” Straut,
who operates the Montmartre Inn,
Ships Tavern and Tony’s Bar, said.
Millie Markham, owner of the
Montmartre, said they had received
a terrific response to their use for
making change.
‘‘Trouble is, everybody wants
them for change and promptly se
crets them away for their own col
lection,” she said, adding, “We
brought in 1,000 of them and only
had 11 left by Thursday. We are
bringing more of them up as soon
as possible.”
Some people here, especially
those who came here from the East
Coast had never before seen a sil
ver dollar and some were not even
sure they were genuine money.
Anyone having any doubts about
them are urged to bring them to
the Mirror where we will be happy
to take a risk and pay 50 cents each
for the cartwheels!
