they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
it. Fortunately we had one OF your Burglar-Proof
Bankers Chests inside, in which our yaluables were
deposited. This they went to work at with WILL
and evidently used up all their time and tools in vain
attempts TO force it, The night was dark and stormy
and the fact OF their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well maturcd They
tried wedging the door and body OF the Chest, and
the faithful safe bears evidence OF the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All useless, and it is with
great satisfaction we report that upon opening it
found our securities all sa and therefore cheer
fully indorse the Burgar-Proof work recommended
by you.
You VIII please send the new safe purchased by us
to our countnghouse, and take the old one, show
that some safes are still manufactured worthy OF the
name. DAVID Dows d co.
