An Aladdin’s Cave of Illusion : A Visitor in the Museum atTscherbeney, gazing on riches beyond the dreams of Realization. “The village of Tscherbeney, in Upper Silesia, possesses a curiosity in the shape of the first museum of German banknotes and emergency currency. Its founder was once a prosperous dealer, chiefly with Czechoslovakia. During the inflation of German currency he was fortunate in holding bills Instead of paper money. But he was also a good German. After every big deal in Czech kronen, he went to his bank in Breslau, which paid him in paper money. His haversack would hardly hold the mass of notes, and many chests and baskets in his house were packed with notes. Eventually they proved worthless, and in despair he attempted suicide. Presently, however, he set to work with paste and brush, and in two months pasted 34 kilogrammes of paper wealth on the walls of a ground-floor room. He also decorated the ceiling with iron 10-pfennig bits arranged in patterns. His desire to live'returned, and he showed himself a sound business man. He had tickets of admission printed, and his labour of despair turned to profit. Later he collected more bank notes and enlarged his “museum” by similarly adorning several other rooms and balconies. On the walls (as the above photograph’s show) are pasted rows upon rows of notes, and people jstand in front of them to feast their eyes on millions of marks.” —From “The Illustrated London News,” May 23, 1331 CAUSE and EFFECT The Final Result of Uncontrolled Inflation is Worthless Money and Loss of Savings. ■ —lnserted by the AitociaUd Banks of New Zealand
