1930 GOLD PIECE MAKES EXPENSIVE CHARM BRACELET
Jack a jeweler friend of mine,
leaned forward over a tiny an
vil on which he was beating out
a link for a gold chain. On the
table nearby lay a gold coin.
"Take a look at the coin, Pink.
Don't you think it'll make a nice
pendant?"
It was a $10 gold piece, and
as I picked it up I realized, to
my horror, that a hole had been
bored through it. Otherwise, the
coin was mint. Automatically I

rifling was clean.
"That's mighty little money to
pay for a piece like this. How
did you do it?" I asked.
Sam smiled. "You're right
about its being a buy," he said.
"If this were in just fair con

is, it's just about hopeless.

would bear up quite well under

he's having it made into a pend
ant for his girl friend."
"But why didn't you tell him,"
I demanded.
"I did, but he had bored the
hole himself. At trade school.
And he just brought it in with a
chain from an old locket to put
together."
"I hope you charged him plen

"I told him the price would
be $275." Jack answered, "that
he couldn't possibly get it done
cheaper anywhere else.
"At first he didn't believe me.
Then, when I explained that he
had already paid $250 since he
had destroyed the value of the
coin, he got sore and wasn't go

"How did you manage to get
the job?" I asked.
"By just pointing out that he
could truthfully tell his girl
friend he had given her a gift
so expensive and unique that no

said to be plentiful but women
who handle their domestic tasks

to the domestic efficiency ex
