TIE HALL SAFE AND LOCK COMPANY

TIE HALL SAFE AND LocK COMPANY
OF CINCINNATI, 0Hio.-As the celebra-
ted burglar and Ere proof safes made BY
this company are in use in many OF
our banks and leading houses, and as
there always are others who are con-
templating the purchase Of good
safe, and investigating the merits
of the many patterns offered by
the different manufacturers, a few lines
about the Hall Safe and Lock Company
will not be amiss or uninteresting.
Their msnufactery is located at Gin
cinnati, Ohio and force Of 800 hsnds
necessary to turn out the work
There are branches of the firm in near
ly all the principal cities in the United
States, as for instance, the Pittsburgh
house, which controls the territory in
aud adjoining this city, which is rep'
resented by Mr.. John W. Cook
Through it the National Bank Of West
Virginia purchased the magnificent
sare which was placed in their vault
last week. One would think that &c
large number OF work men
would be sufficient to keep W
the supply, but such is not the case. as
the demand is 80 great that orders must
take their regular place and be filled in
their proper turn.
Safes, OF course, are made Of all sizes
shapes, conveniences aud finish, &C
cordiDg to the wants and directions Of
the customers, but every one turned ouI
by the works is thoroughly tested in
every particular, and whether
large or small has the same
relative strength and qualities &c
withstand either the most ingenious
efforts of burglars to gain admittauce
or the ravages OF fire. But for con-
venieuce we will describe one OF the
most popular cafes, one, say, whose
dimensions are 60 by 60 inches in
height and width, and 80 inches deep
aud which would weigh about seven
toas. The outer walls and doors are OIL
seven plate thickness, composed Of
alternate plates OF Halls welded
iron and steel, being three and
oue-eighth inches through. The
burglar proof chests, or inner safes. are
also OF the same thickness and the
same material, making the entire
thickness of the walls TO where the
funds are kept elk and one fourth
inches. The upper parts OF the second
tier OF chests, beside their deposit de.
partments, contain sub-treasury boxes
and drawers made OF iron and with
locks and keys. which may be used fol-
valuables that require to be
kept eeperate This cafe is divid.
ed in the centre vertically and
longitudinally by massive partitions
and walls, which separate tie sale into
four parts, each of which is burglar
proof in it.elf and Independent Of any
of the others, and may be opened ard
closed without disturbing the balance
The lower or first tier OF chests can &C
commodate the books of the firm, OF
whatever else the owners may desire.
The Outside and inside doors are all
secured by Halls Combination Locks
which have never yet been picked
aud which they attach 20 every
safe they manufacture. The outer
doors have Halls patent guard locks
with detached arbors and trsverse
hinge, which are late and valuable 10.
ventlons, allowing the entire circum-
ference OF the doors to have the dove
tail tenon and groove work. The walls
and doors are secured by Halls patent
twisted conlcal steel bolts with patent
dove tail tenor and grooved work
The massive and equal proportion,
and beautiful finish of these safes
make them q marvel of perfection
and at the same time indicate how
much time, labor, and skill, and what
an immense experience has been neces-
sary TO bring about so grand result.
We advise any one in search OF an
excellent safe to give the Hall sales a
critical examination before purchasing.
Various styles may be seen BY visiting
in this city, the First National, Peoples
aud City Banks, Fire and Marine and
Nail City Insurance companies, or al
NJ. Rielly's and r. J. Smythe's stores,
where these safes have been placed in
position.

my old friends aud patrons that have
