$120,000,000 Mother

Fearful that Death might snatch him away from his large fortune before he could make it colossal, shrewd Armenian Merchant Eli Amirhanian drafted a strange will, died peacefully in 1882.

The will cut off Merchant Amirhanian's children, created a trust fund which a group of Anglo-Indian lawyers were instructed to build up during the next 50 years. This year the half-century is up and prudent investments (chiefly in Indian real estate) have swelled Miser Amirhanian's fortune to the colossal total of $120,000,000. Diligent, the trustees called at Alexandria, Egypt upon white-haired, tremulous Marianne Djanikian, 80, told her that as the granddaughter of Miser Amirhanian she can now claim his fortune under the terms of the will.

As she sailed for India ancient Heiress Djanikian fervently exclaimed: "Thank God I have two sons!" Meekly they accompanied their $120,000,000 mother.
