About six or seven certificates out of every five hundred, are in some way damaged in the process of manu facture, but every one of these and everv scrap of ' su perduous paper Is under the surveillance of some of llclal of the company, who is per sonal witness to their burning at the end of each day. With all these precautions In the making and handling or paper securi ties, the risk of really dangerous Imi tation Is zero, and the chances of counterfeiting are practically elimi nated.
