How to Carry Money About A Caution From A Detective
An experienced detective advises that the safest place for money is not in a breast or hip pocket. He dismisses the idea of a safe hip pocket and warns that a knife can slit clothing to reach cash in the breast. He suggests keeping money in the right trousers pocket and avoiding jewelry risks in crowds. Beware of rushes and jostling where hands can strike. Wear a diamond pin sparingly and fear not safety attachments.
