SAFES THAT ARE SAFEs.-lt will be remembered

a,tested By many gentlemen OF unimpeachaole veracty

kinds of safes az to their capacity resist the heat of

we had ocular demonstration. TOR we saw and handled
the books which were not discoored beyond the

shriveled.
Struck by what seemed an inisputnble evidence of
the efficiency and superiority of these safes We obtained
