UNITED STATES NOTES BEST

Central and South American Nations Have Their Currency Printed In Thia Country. The American style of banknote has become the standard in the countries of Central and South America. The experience of the Brazillap government Jed the way In this, after various disappointments. First the much-vaunted Austrian system was tried, the notes being engraved and printed In England under that system. They proved a complete failure. Counterfeiters flourished. The Brazilians tried banknotes made in France, and these were promptly and extensively imitated as soon as the counterfeiters could get their plates and paper ready. Brazil tried German and English establishments, but still without success In the protection of the/ banknote circulation, and at last turned to the United States and found a type or bills practically Impossible to counterfeit with success. So it is no boast, but a mere record of fact, to state that Americans make the best banknotes in the world.
