The British Treasury has been appealing to the public not to hoard paper money “in old stockings or inside mattresses,” but to let it work for the war effort. In any case, a writer in the “Manchester Guardian” observes, those thrifty people who have kept notes signed “John Bradbury or “Warren Fisher” would be laying themselves open to a nasty shock if they tried to spend them, for such notes ceased to be legal tender nearly ten years ago. They can, however, be redeemed through the Bank of England, and they have a curiosity value of about twenty-three shillings to collectors—if any can be found nowadays.
