| To achon. it may Concern:
This is to certify, that we purchased of Messrs.

| and Burglar Proof Safes at Cincinnati, ONO,
| through their General Eastern Agent, D. ID;
Warner, of Rochester, New York, one No, II
| Fire Proof Safe On the night of July 10Th,
| 1871, our Machine Works burned, with Its en-
| tire contents. The alarm of fire was given by
our Waterman about II P. NJ, and IN dess than
twenty minutes the whole building was appar,
emily in flames. The building was built OF
wood two stories high, and was constructed OF
/ heavy timbers. to support heavy machinery
the upper and lower floors were four lnches
thick, three of hemlock and one of oak, and the
| lower floor was saturated with oil. The Safe
stood in the Office, on the second floor, and fell
through both floors. The heavy machinery
caused the sides of the building to fall inwardly
subiecting the Safe to an intense heat for ten
hours. For hours the Safe was heated
to o white heat, but, upon opening 1t
we found to our great surprise our
books and papers preserved in good order
| This established the fact in our minds, beyond
doubt, that Moser, Bahmann d Co.'S are tne
most reliable Safes made and we are satlshec
that their Safes will stand fire in any building ne
and we would use no other. We cheerfully
and conscientiously recommend their Safes t.
others. DICK q 20.
