HERRING's SAFES IN THE LATE PORTLAND
. D
drawn from Que Of the incidents of the la.e
disastrous fire in Portland, that should be
carefully considered by those who would
avoid danger that is all the more insidious
because we are apt to imagine ourselves Sc
cure from it. We refer t1 the test that has
been applied to the safes Of different manuiac-
turers that were exposed to The terrible ordeal
of fire there. The word sAFE, which is sp.
piled to the iron chests or boxes that are
manufactured by all makers, is only applica-
Bile, in reality, to such as have successfully
stood the test, and our advertising columns
show that the Herring Safe fairly sustains
the reputation it long ago acqui ed, OF being
one of the most perfect fl f-e-proofs yet made.
After seeing the reports of the great losses Of
contained in other safes, we were
led to inquire why people should be so blind
TO their own interests as to trust their treas
ures in such insecure repositories, when 9TH
ers that have been proved in hundreds Of fires,
could be had, and we were informed that in
this, as IN many other matters, people forget
the motto, " the best is the cheapest" and
that one cause of the great loss in this ins ance
was, that the Portland merchants had pur-
chased safes manufactured in the + It that
were cheaper than Herring could afford to
sell his for. We should as soon trust our
funds to a street broker, wi O might of n a
large interest, than the more cautious and
we'll known neighboring banker, as put our
valuables in an iron box that will not stand
the test Of fire and having experienced The
Of owning one Of Hernugs make,
we the more cheettuiiy recommend them TO
our iriends.-Seonsh 8Bsrtoan.
