SOME SAFE. STORIES.
Amusing Incidents Connected with the
Safe Makers Business.

Amusing Incidents Connected with the
ssfe-Maker's business.
A Boston safe-maker recently gave to
a Courier reporter q few amusing incl
dents connected with his business.
Locks. Of course, will sometimes get
out Of order and whom n business man
can not lock his safe. or. worse yet, can
not unlock It, he loses no time in send
ing to headquarters for help.
Not long ago we received Q hurried
message from one of our customers,
whose safe door had suddenly refused
30 shut far enough TO allow the bolts to
be thrown. A workman fastened TO the
establishment, and glancing about the
entrance 70 the safe. noticed cent rest
ing on enc Of the bottom fanges. He
picked IL up. and the door shut and
locked without any further trouble.
The bill for the workman's time was
probably large enough to prevent repe-
titlon OF the occurrence.
In another case of the same sort but.
ton from lady's dress was found by tho
expert In one Of the lower bolt holes.
Some years ago we delivered new
set OF vault doors for bank about two
hundred miles away. Just rs the bank
was ready to go into Its new quarters we
had telegram TO send man at once.
The bolts Of the outer door would not
throw far enough 10 lock it.
Our man started OF forthwith, and
this Is what he found: The bank officers
had fitted board flooring into the vesti-
bule OF the vault but had omitted TO
bore holes in II 10 allow for the throw OF
the bolts. An auger and ten minutes
work set every thing right. but they
made that piece Of board rather expen.
sive luxury.
Our morning mail brought letter
from man three hundred miles from
Boston. His safe could not be opened,
and he was In distressing plight
Would we send an expert at once?
Our man picked up his kit, took the
next train. and arrived at the custom
er's Office the next morning. The safe
proved to DO An old.fashioned one, with
large key.iock.
There" said the owner, 'there is
the safe The lock has been working
harder and harder for weeks, and now /
am licked out. must have some of nv
documents Immediately Never mind
the damage. but break into, It in short
order" 80.
The expert tried the key, but It re-
fused TO work Then he took small
wire and picked out half thimbleful
OF dirt and lint He tried it again, and
a better-workinR lock was never seen.
How much is your bill2" asked the
customer
Forty dollam.~
"All right That is perfectly salts
