It notes the 1857 panic triggered by the Ohio Life and Trust Co failure, bank withdrawals, loan calls, and tightened circulation. It covers wartime notes from 1812 onward, their denominations, redemption, and eventual disappearance, then hints at coins and a forthcoming chapter. It closes with a local advert about giving away paintings to attract customers.
