Apropos of n recent financial mng
nnto's downfall, n depositor remarked
to n bank official that he thought that
tho mun In a subordinate position who
handles largo amounts of cash Is sub
jected to a greater temptation than tho
"high financier." "Not so," was tho
answer; "I was a paying teller for ten
years, and I can assure you that han
dling cash In largo amounts Is abso
lutely like handling simple pieces of
pnper with numbers on them. It Is
tho mathematics of accounting that In
terests a cashier tho keeping of those
bits of paper In perfect order. Tho
question of what ho might do with the
bills never enters a busy paying teller's
mind." Tho Outlook.

The Brunswick
" Ll..-
The Brunswick is not a one record instrument. Of the four
major phonographs it is the only one that plays ALL records.
The Brunswick is frankly a combination of all the wanted
perfections. It is the latest and the final type. It removes all
restrictions and limitations.
This is the phonograph with the sound chamber built entirely
of long-seasoned and resonant wood. So the tone is at its best
--never metallic, never harsh. Our experts, in following the
construction of a violin, have achieved a distinct triumph, admitted
by all acousticians.
