BOLLING IN WEALTH
Two well known Seward business
men are literally rolling in wealth: af
least it looks like wealth.
A short time ago H. E. Wilson of
the Bank of Seward, and Elwyn Swet
! mann of the Seward Drug Company,
finding themselves overburdened wkh
! wealth of the realm decided to invest
| their surplus in a marketable com
| modity, deciding upon the German
; mark for the venture. According.y
' they sent to the Deutsche Bank Oi
Berlin, Germany, the stupendous sum
I of two whole American dollars. In due i
course of time this is what thev 1
ceived.
Thirty thousand paper marks; on
which postage charges and dui.-.
amounting to 7,43o marks, was paid by
the German government. The pac.v
age ot wealth was consigned to Sew-1
aid in care ot the Bank of Sewaru,
leaving Berlin on Aprii 25, 1923, ar
riving in New York on May 4th ana ;
arrived in Seward, May lti.
The marks vary in denomination
from one mark to a few of five thou
sand marks valuation, consisting o.
Is, 2s, 5s, 10s, 20s, 5us, 100s, ovb-. ,
1000s, and 5000s marks.
In estimating the value it was as-1
certained that Mr. Wilson and Mr.
Swetmann received 1ST marks for .Ui ,
cent. The present value of each mark 1
is .0004 and the par value, before the |
decline, was .2382. Figuring on the
par value the marks cost $1769.82
postage to Seward and the value oi
- the marks received would amount to
$7146.00, a small fortune in itseit.
| Each, therefore, in investing a dollar
| stand to realize heavily on the in
| vestment—at some future date.
