Circulation of Money and a New Year Shuffle
A New York Mail item chronicles a quixotic chain of ill gotten gains from cheap shoes sold to soldiers. A man earns twenty five dollars from subpar footwear and funnels twenty eight to a head waiter for a New Year table. The waiter passes twenty six to his wife who uses nearly twenty five to pay income tax. The tax funds a navy feared by a country offended by the shoddy shoes. The odd nickel remains in escrow across generations about to pass to descendants of the shoe maker.
