CHAMPION SAFES AT THE EXPOSITION.
The chief object shown in this collection is a
bank burglar-proof safe weighing 1000 pounds
is one of the handsomest bank safes ever made
in this or any other country. 1t would be
worth the time of any man, interested in keep
ing his valuable securities intact from rogues,
to examine the superior qualities of this safe.
A full line of materials used in the manu-
facture of burglar proof safes is shown and
fully explained. These exemplify all the parts
entering into the construction and how they
are put together at the factory. In fact every-
thing that modern science has developed in the
way of security for books and valuables against
depreciation and robbery is employed in the
Barnes system.
SPLENDID FIREPRooF SAFES.
Around and in the space is an attractive COL
lection of freproof safes of all sizes and va
rieties finished in the highest styles of artistic
ornamentation. Some of them have been sold
since the Exposition opened, and the names of
many prominent firms appear upon them as
purchasers.
A vault door stands in the center of the rear
end of the exhibit. In this class of work Barnes
stands at the head. There is scarcely build
ing of importance in Pittsburg where vaults
are used, except those supplied from the
Barnes factory.
A ladies' jewel casket mounted on an orna-
mental stand is shown near the entrance This
small safe should be found in all families who
are possessed of jewels and heirlooms.
A Yale time lock is also shown which shares
attention with the Sargent & Greenleaf, It
is q most beautiful piece of mechanism.
RAMIFIcATIoNs OF THIS INDUSTRY.
While Pittsburg is the headquarters fol- the
Barnes industry. the sale of safes is not con-
fined to this territory. The rami6cations of
this business extend into every State and Ter
ritory of the Union.
The exhibit of Barnes safes is the finest that
has ever been shown in any exhibition from
Maine to California, and SO acknowledged by
travelling men visiting the buildings BY way
OF parenthesis, it may be remarked that sales
are made every day, as these safes are looked
upon as prize specimens, and parties desiring a
safe take pride in securing one which hasNap-
parently been built for expert criticism.
The Barnes representatives at the Exposi.
tion, Messrs. Koerner. McLain and Seymour.

themselves most popular by their manner of
welcoming visitors, and clearly explaining the
uses and intents OF the exhlolt under their per-
sonal supervision.
