HETTY GREEN'S PETTICOAT

Eric Newman writes: "In your most recent bulletin there was
a comment about Hetty Green's long black dress which she
wore until it wore out. I understand that the inside lining or
petticoat of that dress had sewn-in security pockets so that
she could safely receive and deliver bought and sold securities
to and from her vault."
