welded steel and hardened boiler iron, placed al
ternately and secured by conical steel bolts, 90
located that two never come in line and none pass
through the entire thcknesses the safe being thus
rendered absolutely burglar proof The safe is
divided into two distinct compartments, thus Civ
ing two safes in one The partition being COM
posed of the same material as the top, bottom and
sides, renders one department secure even should
the other be left opeA Upon the doors are placed
strong, round wrought iron bolts, secured by mass
i've bars and hasps, beautifully chased and ad-
justed in such manner ~ to secure them when
shut to the frames or jams, besides the hinges to
which he doors fastened the cross bolts being
of such lengh that when shut forward they
catch at the back well the front of the doors.
These bolts thrown into their places by
handles on the outside of the doors, and are fas-
tened there by the bolts Of the locks, the latter
having no labor to perform but the throwing of
their own bolts.

these wheels has slot or notch in its edge, and
when they are all brought into line (which is done
by means of knobs on the outside Of the doors,

thrown. Over the wheels Is q lever or dog which,
when they all set right falls into the slots and

tons, is perfect in every part, everything fitting

lining, and the placing of the vault doors and
building of the wall, was entrusted to Mr.. George

manner. For beauty Of finish (maRy bouquets and
landscapes being equal to parlor paintng) and for
strength and security, this safe is unsurpassed by
any workmanship we have ever seen.
