THE CHAMPION SAFE. Noble & Hall Agents for the Detroit Safe Com
 pany.
A Sure Protection From Fire.
safety. Utility and Beauty Combined.

The door ia1nbs of these safes are made
 of malleable rolled steel of great tensile
 strength, crimped and rolled into six ofT-
 sets or fianges for winch the company
 holds exclusive patent.
 The advantages in these safes are as
 follows: The thinness of the metal
 which connects the outside box with the | inside box. The toughness of the metal | which forms the door frames and !ambs | The close fitting of the door frame to the | jamb. The position of the bolt work on ! the inner tange of the door and t.e round corners of the safe.
 All other safes made in the United States have cast iron door frames end ! jambs, which metal must be made thick In order to obtain sufficient strength. | thus furnishing q direct tavenue for the
 introduction of heat to the inside of the | safe, which, thick as 1t is, is constantly
 cracking, especially when exposed to ' fire, Owmg to its well known brittleness. | By the use of this thin steel the prob | lem has been solved of how to make ;he | front of a safe as invulnerabie tO fire as ! it's other walls.
 ! The unequal contraction of cast iron | in cooling, renders It impossible Co fit | tle door casting with clOseness and reg UlarIty; a glarIng evil which thIs sys- | tenn obvIates.
 | The position of the lock and bolts ren- | ders 1t easy to keep both m order, while at the same time they are far more diff | cult to be tempered with when the safe ! is locked.
 The filing by this system, begins at | the extreme outside of the door, while ! by the old system of placing the lock and bolt work immediately under the outer plate of the door. the heat was al- lowed tO pass unobstructed abOut half through the door.
 The fire proof filing is of such a na- tHre that the contents of safe are sure ly protected through any fire tO which burning building can expose it.
 The round corners give double the protection against the bursting of a safe by a heavy fall, as the full strength of the welded hoops is thus preserved, while in a safe with square corners the rectangular bend m the hoops is a con stant sonrce of weakness and danger. These safes are in Use throughout the length and breadth of our land. as well as m the countries of the Eastern Hemisphere; they have been everywhere exposed to fires of all kinds, incident to human experience, but there has never been single case where they have failed to protect their contents against loss or damage from heat, hence we do not fear to assert tba. they are the best fire proof safes in use, and while they are finished in all theIr appointments with great thOroughness and beauty, the company IS, because of their great facilities for manufacturing. through their agents here, able to offer them at price so reasonable, that no one who has books, papers or valuables to protect should be without one.
 Banks safes and vaults, constructed with all the latest and most approved burglar proof appointments, made to order, also, vault doors, iron shutters and jail work. A large supply always on hand.
