SAFES.

EVERYBODY can afford to have an
~ Iron Safe who has property exposed to fire and
thieves. When we contrast the number of such as
have property exposed with those who have taken
the precauton protect themselves the result shows
gross and lamentable amount of carelessness Who
Is willing to trust his notes, deeds, records, claims
and other valuable papers, that cannot be replaced
to q lawyer who habitually keeps them in vanished
and highly -combustible desk or case, in building
that any night may be burned down? Yet how many
such men are there In every town and city. and how
many thousands of dollars every year are lost
Among those who sometimes lose heavily, indeed,
most disastrousy by fire, public and authors.
The work Of lifetime in their case is sometimes
swept away in an hour. Their hopes and expecta-
tons, and often the Of future income, is de
stroyed. The private papers of senator Benton,
thirty years Senator, and for half century pub
lie man, the writer saw destroyed In an hour, in a
dwelling which, Of all Others he should have eonsid
cred the least likely 10 burn.
Among the many Safes that have been the NEST
thoroughly tested by furnace and in confagrations
Of various magnitude, is RIoH's SALAxAsDER, manu-
featured by STEARs's ID MARVIN, LAG Water street,
New York Thousands Of them are in use through
out the United States and Canada, and they be
seen in the West India Islands, Mexico, New Grena-
d. Brazil Spain, Germany, AUSTRIA Egypt, the East
Indies, China and Australia, and NOT BOOK, PAPER,
ON DOLLARS WORTH OF PROPERTY BKKS LOST By
rIRK IN rHrx This fact establishes their merit and
removes all question 30 their superiority. They
constructed of stout wrought bar aud plate iron,
rveted together in the most substantial manner and
lined with chemical preparation which Is non
conductor of heat and cannot be destroyed by fire.
The locks are burglar-proof cannot be opened with
powder, and the key can be carried in the porte
monnaie with the same convenience as a half eagle.
Inside, they fitted up with pigeon-hoes shelves,
drawers, dc, with the elegance Of lady's writing
desk
Persons who wish to examine these safes, win find
them at various places in Washington: One at the
Department Of the Interior, at Chubb a Brothers,
Bankers, at b. J. Semmes A Brothers, &c.
