SAFES '
Have never lailed to preserve their contents la oas
of fire.
Business men generally spend too little time in
the examination and purchase of their safos. Many
of them conclude they are all about alike, and then,
the question of pries rulos. It . tb?v wonld reflect
on this matter they would see they were wronx.
As nearly all maker claim to use a different Hilling,
tte quality must vary. The fact tbat sates of all
makers have parsed through fires successfully, does
not demonstrate that they are all equally fire-proof.

Never Lose their Fue proof Qualities,
Many people supposed whon they bought their
sales, years ago, that tney would last a liletline.
1 bey now find that the dry atmosphere of their
offices has exhausted all the virtue their safes ever
hid, and many are using safes whion, although once
good, are now entirely worthless. On the con.
tiary.in our safos tne water remains crystallised in
the alum until the fire takes place, when it is
dnvenout into the plaster of Paris, by which it Is
surrounded.. The latter, by this operation, la set
firmly, and thus small cavities or air chambers are
lormed, which are non-conductors of heat,

Our Burglar Proof Safos are made of the best

are made ol steel (exoopt the diamond drill, wbien

toughness with a penetrating power, we are able hy

the drill, oold-chtsel, wedges, or sledge.
All we ask is a fair comparison, and we guarantee
