savings banks has been such that the banks
themselves must he getting scared. The
Post Office inspectors and the District NJ
torney might be interested in their latest
appeal received through the mail within
the last day or two by countless persons
whose names by some queer streak Of
fortune have got Oh their mailing list.
Judging from the amount " this mail the
Madison Square station Of the Post Office
ought to be overta xed before long, al

Burr Bros. as financial agents Of the
Pioneer Cab Signal Company. tell some
thing Of the device if they don't tell much
about the company. Printed in big black
headlines at the very top, just to show you
what a good thing it is, is this announce

Gerous tracks in the world. All railroads
must use this signal"
There il the usual admonition after this

Burr Brots. put il up on July 70 to 40
cents a share.
Here is an opportunity says the red
and black circular, for the masses TO par

who bought their stock at the beginning.

the engineer has TO do still less. II he

and the re d light burns. there is another
device whi,,h applies the air brakes itself
and brings the train TO a standstill. I'VE
do not rely upon human agency to prevenp
collisions. ELECTRICITY makes no mistakes"
the Burr brothers remind you. Figuring
on 100000 loco motives in the United States

they go on TO say, a nice little profit Of
