    Rather a risky way to leave money

    A story of a grandmother, who in order to show her gratitude to a grandchild bestows on him by will her old armchair. It is only later, when the chair is damaged by reason of a fire in the house, that the child discovers projecting from the upholstery of the piece of furniture a note indicating that there is a fortune inside. Which it will be conceded is rather a risky way to leave money or valuables. But perhaps Granny knew that sooner or later the house containing the chair would burn and the chair be scorched just enough to reveal without destroying the note. - The Moving Picture World, August 2, 1913
