ten years ago, purchased one of your Salamander
Safes at SIl0. That Safe on the night of the 25rh
instant was subjected to intense red heat In the
conAsgration of my three story brick block in this
place.
After the fire commenced, an occupant of the
store In which the safe was broke open the win.
dow, unlocked it and took out has books, but was
driven back by the flames leaving the door open
Arriving at the scene just at this moment and
learning Its situation, made an unsuccessful at.
temptto get to it and lock it. then offered re.
ward of 500 to daring fellow to 20 in and lock
the safe. He accomplished the feat, and soon after
the floor fell with the safe into the basement Ii
contained papers to alarge amount, the destruction
OF which would have been as irretrievabIe az bank
bills. The Safe was subjected to an intense heat
surrounded By large amount of coubustible ma.
terlas. On removing the Safe from the fire after
1t had somewhat tsubsided Che Safe still being red
hotD the papers were taken out % bright az new in
the most perfect order. The wooden lining of the
safe was not disfgured at ALL and presented no ap
pearance OF fire. The door.plates are warped one
wheel melted, and another partly melted off. The
lock, however, works well, Respectfully yours,
