Jamaica

I have only a somewhat garbled account from a digitised version of the Kingston 'Gleaner' in the FBI Archive . This is the best that I can make out.

We invite the public of Jamaica to come [and] see the RAPID CASH RAILWAYS now in use in our general Drapery and Grocery Departments. This is the most improved system of rapid and accurate conveyance of money direct from the salesman to the cash desk. [The] Rapid Cash Railway will carry cash 100 feet. It returns the cash to the [sales person], prevents the possibility of the change going to the wrong [person], is simple and easy to [use], it costs nothing [to operate]. In fact it is the PERFECT CASH CARRIER and the one thing required for the perfect controlling of the cash in every place of business.
Having been appointed Sole Agents in Jamaica for the Cash [Railway] we be pleased to afford every information to Merchants and Storekeepers interested in the [item]. We have seven railways erected in [the] establishment. They give perfect [service?] besides providing immense [interest?]. Gleaner, 10 Feb. 1892
