THE MAKING OF SAFES.
The Tools Used Are Very Carefully
Guarded.

eve nave tools for opening safes,' said
the foreman of the machine room Of a
tate even If ne got them. But it would be
one Of the most difficult things in the world
for him to get even a sight Of them. The
toolroom is guarded as closely as a bank
vault. A Waterman stays In 1t all night.
We are very careful about employing our
men. They must give bonds and have the
best of references. The chance of a burglar
getting into our employ for the purpose of
learning our methods is scarcely worth
thinking about.
VERY frequently we nave hurry calls for
a man to open a safe where the time lock
has gone askew, or where the clerk has for
gotten the combination. You can readily
imagine that with a bank or trust COM
pany it is an essential thing to have the
safe open before business begins. When
we send a man out he takes a wagon load
of tools, for he must open the safe without
running the lock, and he does not know pre-
cisely what the trouble is He carries a
photograph of himself with our credentials
on il. Nor will he open the safe while
alone. Some bank official must remain with
him. no matter how long the job takes.
That is for our own protection. Some very
queer alleged robberies have been charged
TO men sent out to open safes.
ITO mechanics in our business IL Is LAUGH
able 10 read that a full kit of burglars tools
has been found beside a safe. As / have
said. it would require an express wagon
way. III they care TO take chances by
blowing up a safe with dynamite, IL is an
other matter: but those fellows nearly al
ways get caught.
"a police officer told me that burglars
make their w tools. The big crooks are
all spotted and are afraid to 60 out and
buy the material for them. Some of them
send their wives and children"
