In 1855 MT Sher- man became a member of the firm of Herring 6 Oo., afterward Herring, Farrell & Sherman, and retained his active mem bership until his death in 1886 Soon afterward his brother, the late John O.

Sherman. has been especial ly interested in making it possible for -Brimfield to obtain it's fine possession, and no pains have been spared in the arrangement and construction of the vault. The walls are of heavy hard ened steel on both inner and outer sides, between which are I beams to give strength and support against any crushing weight falling upon it. The dry filling, which is the firm patent, is pressed in between the walls, affording the best fireproofipg yet known. It is of powdered form, en- tirely free from dampness, and does not deteriorate with age. The door is of steel construction, having lock ing bolts front, top and bottom, and locked by four tumbler mbination bankers locks The exterior is finish ed in silver bronze, with gold-leaf stripping, and the interior is painted in white and fitted with metal shelv- ing and adjustable roller shelves for the accommodation of the various books that may be stored in the vault. The outside dimensions are nine feet high, eight feet wide and six feet six inches deep. The Brimfield officials have always been faithful in the care of town records and documents and | public douments, and much is owed | to the late Henry F. Brown, for many years town clerk, for his interest in such matters and the gathering of his- torioal material. The town is now to be congratulated on it's newly equipped repository possessing such a high degree of perfection for it's pur l pose. Springfield Republican.
