LETTER OF MESSRS. DAVID DOWS & CO.
Nkw Y'okk, April 10, 1859.
IIehkiko, Farrel & Sherman,
No. 2M Broadway. '
Ucnts: On the night of the 22d ultimo, our store,
No. 20 South street, was entered, and a desperate at
tempt made by burglars upon one of your safes In our
counting-room.
The key to the safe In which we kept our securities
was locked inside of our tire-proof book safe, the
doors of which were literally cut to pieces; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
it. Fortunately we had ono of your Burglar-Proof
Banker s Chests Inside, In which our valuables were
deposited. This they went to work at with a will,
ana evidently used up all their time and tools In vain
attempts to force It. The night was dark and stormy,
and the fact of their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plana were well matured. They
tried wedging the door and body of the Chest, und
the faithful safe bears evidence of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All was useless, and It Is with
great satisfaction we report that upon opening It wo
found our securities all e, and can therefore cheer
fully indorse the Burglar-Proof work recommended
by you.
You will please send the new safe purchased by ns
to our counting-house, and take the old one, to show
that some safes are still manufactured woithy of the
name. David Dows & Co.
