CARY SAFE Co., Buffalo, N. Y.
Gentlemen: / am in receipto your
bill of lading for new safe shipped to
Syracuse today. AS we are to move
our offices to Syracuse, I take this OPP
portunity OF expressing my satisfac-
ton with your safes, this being the
fourth n that we have purchased
from you since we have been located
at Buffalo, all of which are in use.
Notwithstanding the fact that three
of them passed through a very severe.
fire, that occurred in this office in the
Central Depot, Nov. y, 1895. This.
proved the efficiency of your safes,
which contained about $780, 900 worth
of deeds and records, all of which
were not damaged in any way, al
though the safes were in direct con-
tact with the iercest part Of the fire.
l consider your safes the best in.
surance one can invest. in. And the
purchase of the present large new safe.
this Company is, / think, sufficient
testimonial to the value your safes.
have been to us in the past.
Yours truly,

Vast Riches in Corn.

The greatest hoard of the yellow

could not buy one years harvest OF

Dainty little cakes for the afternoon
tea may be baked in tins Of fancy

meats and dotted with candied fruits.
An excellent old rule for cake calls
for an equal weight Of eggs, -four, but
ter and sugar. Cream the sugar and
butter together very thoroughly. Then
drop in the eggs one by one, beating
each after it goes in until the mixture
is very foamy. After the beating has
made the batter as frothy as possible
