P||| LILLIE’S SAFES
THE MASTER OF THE SITUATION.
THE FRONT ATTACK ABANDONED.
F Particular attention Is called to the article in The
Pres* of,29th, 30th, and Slat instant, addressed to L. C.
LILLIE; and signed. “ EVANS * WATSON, *' in which
they DECLINE to test Safes by fires, and, oh their part,
close the correspondence, having. I presume, come to
the wise conclusion that * ‘ discretion is the better part
ofvalor,” (agzeat misfortune, I think, that they had
sot arrived at this sage conclusion before they made the
first attack.)
Far be it from me to float or exult over a fallen ene
my; an enemy who figntß honorably and fairly (though,
he fail?) is entitled to both sympathy and respect; bat
•when he rnns and then charges his antagonist falsely,
he can baldly be entitled to either. . ' ' .
But “to err is human,” and the enemy’s mood when
he penned the article was evidently sullen, and although
he is pettish, and, like the weaker hoy in the quarrel,
turns round and looks daggers, and makes up all man
ner of wry faces at his opponent and the rest of man
kinds. ” l am quite disposed to overlook, forget, and for
give*—to offer the hand of charity, and to treat him like
the “Prodigal Bon.” if he will return and sin no more,'
1 next passjlo a short review of the prominent points in
this correspondence, that it may be more fully under
stood . ’ ■ •
ahe attack was first made by a notice to merchants
and bankers that LILLIE’S SAFES could be drilled, were
not drill* proof or fire-proof, referring to the Great Fire
at Troy to show it.
I answered this attack first, by challenging the attack
ing party to a test with the drill: also, to test the
BURGLAR-PROOF QUALITIBB OF LILLIES’ SAFE
with theirs, giving them one-third advantage, and with
the drill one-half ad^antagerj indto all these offers I
have had NO RESPONSE, except the fire test.
As to this test, they first propose to take a safe in their
possession that'they allege had been in our fire, with,
the general terms for burning, all whiclr I acceded to,
except that I would select a safe of similar size to the
one they selected, and that neither party should have
poetesslonof either safe before the burning, to drug it,
or fit it up for the occasion.
To this proposition my Opponents DECLINE, and
leayjs tbe Field !
To all the charges and allegations I have made, as to
the robberies and burning ofthelr safeß, they have not
either denied or disproved them , therefore they stand
admitted. ’ ... .. . .
To|all the charges and allegations theyhave made as
to lhe failures of Lillie’s Bare, I have, as I think, an
swered tairly and truthfully.
With these remarks, I close this correspondence, con
fidently believing tbe public will fully appreciate the
position of each party, and th e relative value ot their
Safes. LEWIS LILLIE,
