The Pairing Investment of a Smart
Chicago Man
Ho Buys Postage Stamps at Wholosale
Kate from Big louses and Sells
Them Off at a Nt Profit
A Bright Idea
A wholesale brokerage in stamps has
netted 300000 a year and the business
has had a 17 years history in Chicago
The publication of hundreds and hun
dreds of papers of all sorts and circula
tion gave birth to this absolute neces
sity the cashing of postage stomps in
all quantities
Consider for a moment In one day
when the worlds fair icfcure coupon
craze was at its craziest one of Chica
gos morning dailies received 3800 in
postage stamps What could be done
with them They were not good at the
banks The paper had no time to ped
dle them and the cash must be realized
at once to run business or at least to
save interest
Such a state of affairs only of some
what milder character happening
daily nearly a score of years ago came
to the knowledge of one George It
Owens who was looking -for something
easy Sweeping together some bits of
capital into a bank account Owens
quietly circulated among the heavier
stamp receiving business concerns of
the town and bid all the way from 95 to
07 cents on the dollar for all the odd job
lots of vault stored stamps that he could
get track of
At first the tedious recount of the
great quantities of stamps at the time
of purchase was made with the aid of
the merchant selling them This how
ever proved a torment detached
wrinkled up and stuck together as most
of the big lots were After wasting of
much valuable time on the part of their
cashiers over what was everywhere con
sidered an utter nuisance the banks
newspaper offices and business houses
gradually shifted the count on him al
together save a cursory sizing up of
the pesky tormentsas they came in
Owens simply called around picked
up the bundles of little government
photos ge his check for the count in
dicated ou the bundle and when he got
home if there was a mistake he
charged it up to the customer and it
went as a discount on the next deal
without a question The same thing
ruled after a time in the matter of the
packages retailed They vere paid for
unhesitatingly and any mistake his
customers might afterwards speak of
finding Owens would cheerfully allow
Thus absolute confidence was estab
lished
Chicago mail order houses and news
paper counting rooms were not slow in
advising their other city friends of the
Chicago cure for the stamp curse and
thus the stamp broker was freely and
without expense advertised from Jlaine
to California until after years of nnich
profit the old man retired on his pile
to be succeeded by his son who in his
stock exchange office the other day
showed the writer an order he had just
received from an eastern brewing com
pany for 400000 two cent stamps
S000 worth at one per cent discount
Most of the stamps handled are ones
twos and thvees other denominations
only as the broker has customers for
them Great quantities of Canadians
are trafficked showing an immense
mail order trade for Chicago with Can
ada
Many counting rooms in Chicago and
over the country cash 1000 worth of
stamps every few days at either 98 cents
or 99 cents and are glad of the chance
After reaching the brokers hands
there is but one feature of interest con
nected with the repacking of stamps for
retail delivery This is absolutely won
derful counting by sight that is done
by the girls who attend to this part of
the work
Opening upon the table before her a
big envelope stuffed with all sorts of
stamps as they are brought from the
merchant the girl with one dexterous
dash of her right hand sweeps the heap
to a single stamp level an instant not
more she looks at them then one fin
ger darts through the broad layer with
evidently no more system than a streak
of lightning but that leaves the carpet
of stamps looking like a colored map of
the United States Another pass or two
of the infinitely dexterous fingers and
the stamps are gone Not 20 seconds
have elapsed
What did she do In that 20 seconds
she counted sorted piled and re
wrapped 5000 unattached mixed up
stamps of three denominations It was
without question the most marvelous
feat of counting the writer ever wit
nessed and he has seen many cf the
famous United States treasury finger
counters The counting of the stamp
instance was done entirely with the eye
a fact that only increases the m3rs
tery considering that the stamps were
all in a crazy quilt jumble Chicago
Tribune
Prize Poker Story-
CaptJohnADuble an old Mississippi
steamboat man tells a story of a game of
cards played by a cotton broker named
Weed during the war He boarded my
boat he says at Cairo after he liad
made a successful trip off a cargo of
cotton for the landing placed
in the clerks ofiioe of the boat
a box about the size of a
candle box but securely nailed and
strapped with iron bands Weed hailed
me as I was pas5ing through the cabin
Captain said he send me a boy and
your carpenter When they were on
hand he told the boy to bring the box
out and the carpenter to open it It was
full of crisp greenbacks Then he pro
ceeded to run up against the game of a
gang of old river sharks and by tbp
time we got down stream he did not have
a dollar He told me he lost 500000 be
tween St Louis and Xew Orleans The
last time I saw Weed he was river re
porter in Xew Orleans and he seemed
as perfectly happy as though he still
had his 500000 Washington Post
