In bringing in the silver dollars, use about 2 burros with heavy saddlebags on them --to simulate the transportation of the actual silver from Las Vegas. Burros could be unloaded from a van two blocks away, led by Western garbed girls up to window.

Set up a picture using an elderly gentleman, perhaps with Van Dyke beard, with professorial manner, using measuring rod, surveyor's transit, and complicated graph charts, outside the window --?╟÷ as though he were trying to calculate thru mathematics how many silver dollars are in the window. A pretty girl garbed in Western outfit, peering over his shoulder, and bent low, and perhaps another alternate shot, using a youngster at the man's feet, watching him in amazement, should make a good picture. 3. Set up a picture using a young boy, with a ruler, and a small amount of dimes, formed in almost exactly the same formation as the dollars in the window. Shoot past the boy into the window, to show the theory of the youngster in trying, by using proper ratios, to guess the amount in the silver pile. 4. Set up a picture with a gypsy and her crystal ball, on a small portable stand outside the window.
