These crisp, clean, bills you drew from the bank have a normal life expectancy of only nine months. Then limp and dirty, torn andl,pateh- ed, they are tired back to the Bank of Canada and sent to the furnice. Considering !the tact ,that the note circulation dither Bank of Canada is bout $230,000,000 some idea may be obtained of the great flood. of paper money that finds' its way to oblivion each year. In former Yearsthe worn out money was colleirtexl bleached in a chemical solution, which removed all dyes and colors and the paper . sold for regrinding and manufacture into new paper. But the price for this byproduct fell so low that it did not pay for Meiaching and handling, and now the used money goes to the furelace.
