Eire~PrOOf Safes

The manufacture and the great practical worth OF
the Sanborn Steam Fire-Proof Safe having been fu,
y established offered to the business public;
and offered with assurance supported by ndisputa-
bic facts that 1t is THE BEST sAFF IN THE WORLD, for
1t has been proved, again and again. to far outlast In
fire those that have heretofore been regarded tho
very best is most thoroughly made and of the hes
material, is furnished with Sargents celebrated Mag
netic Combination Lock, than which there is none
better and in all burglar proof qualities it is unsar-
passed, while for beauty of style and nsh freedom
from dampness aud all inconvenience In use as its
power to resist fire, it is without rival 1t is there
fore assuming nothing but simple Justice to the facts
to offer the Steam Safe the most thoroughly scien
tiic, most complete and perfect Safe that can be OBJ
tained In support of these claims we call attention
to few of the testimonials it has won.
In presenting the claims of the Steam Safe we ask
the reader to consider that justified in SO doing
by the or eat need of it. The Safes generally in use
have utterly failed to protect their contents when
severely exposed to fire. as too many have learned to
their loss Over eighty Safes proved worthless in the
Portland fire. In the great fires in Augusta, Glouces-
ter, Richmond, Columbia and more recently in Plats
burg and Rutland, and many other places, the Safes
much exposed afforded little protection to their
contents. The Steam Fire Proof safe therefore, has
been produced to meet public want, aud for this it
is entirely sufficient.
The Steam protection.is especially valuable on the
doors of Bank and Office Vaults as il prevents their
warpng in of fire.
What is R:sid OF IL.
"The American Steam Fire Proof Safe Company
running their factory in this city to the full
of its capacity. The Steam Safe manufactured by
them was invented by Mr. Il. S. Sanborn, and, under
the company's management, it has been brought to
high degree of perfection, and is remarkable, not
only for its superior reproof qualities but for excel
ience of style and finish.
The original patent has been strengthened by i'm
provements, by which every desired convenience and
excellence have been secured.
When the safe is finished, and the bookcas in it,
the water vessels which form a lining around the
bookcase every side entirely concealed from
view, and do not present the slightest inconvenience
in the handling of the Safe' Boston CONNER.
