Martins Safes Weinyite theattention of
our readers to the advertisement, in another
column, of Maryin's Patent Fire and Bur
glar Safe. These safes are the best in the
market, being decided improvements on any
heretofore manufactured. One of them has
been in use at tile office of the New Castle
County Mutual Insurance Company, Insti.
tute Building, for some time past. and tire
President of the Company, Mr. Candy,
speaks of it in the highest terms of praise
1t has given entire satisfaction They are
perfectly dry inside at all times, but in case
of fire they are so constructed-the filling
being oil such nature as to generate steam
that the contents are surrounded by a wet
mass, and nothing can be injured by the
| flames Various kinds of substances have
been used for filling fire proof safes, but none
so far as we know so fully answers the
purpose designed as that employed by Mar
vim & Co., composed of Dry Calcined Plas
ter of Paris and Alum The advantages Of
using tins filling are that ii does not mold the
contents OF the safe; it can never rust thu
iron, and will always remain perfectly fire
proof. They are also burglar proof, being
secured with patent lock, so constructed
that it is impossible to effect an entrance
| We would recommend all who desire to pur
chase new safe, to call on Marvin & Co.
721 Chestnut Street. Philadelphia, and ex
anime their safes before purchasing else
where, as we have no doubt they will
be satisfied as to their adaptation to thu
purposes designed, as well as their cheap
ness.
