Of this paper that Day & Newell have placed Lock in

word they will be allowed all the privileges and sd
vanages that could possibly be possessed by the maker

in every other instance the great importance Of Bankers

burglars.
Wearc that Bankers would naturally infer from
the fact of Mr. Joness exposing his lock- offering
ward of five hundred dollars to any one who might sue
coed in picking it, that eonsequepy hs lock must be
safe We would here remark that this Is is no real proof
Ina, his lock is and safe. 1t is truth not gen

clear that such lock could be secure against the
maker nor would be any security against burglar,
after these secrets once exposed.
We therefore in order that the uardry and untnui'

do offer above stated to place lock- which is now

Lock which has been often exposed, with i've hun
