policemen who were riding in a

The wagon was moving along

None was seriously injured.

committee have made additional con-
tracts with the Royal and Smith-Pre-

panies. About one hundred typewrit-
ers and sixty Burroughs adding ma
chines have been sold to members Of
the association during the year at a
saving OF nearly four thousand dollars.
A contract has also been made for a
liberal saving on the purchase of one
of the leading bank directories provid-
ing sufficient number of members
take advantage of the offer.
BY cooperating with the associa-
lions of Minnesota, South Dakota and
Wisconsin a plan has been worked out
during the year by which one of the
leading safe manufacturers has en-
tered into a contract guaranteeing
members Of the four associations u.s.
Ing these bank safes against loss by
burglary or damage by attempted bur-
glary. This guarantee is backed by
bond in the sum of $25, 900 to the North
Dakota and South Dakota associations
and $4,000 to the Minnesota and Wis
consin associations, executed by the
National Surety Co., thus making 1t
unnecessary for members using this
bank safe to carry burglary insurance
other than daylight hold-up insurance
on which rate has been made by the
~ -
mum per thousand, In the smaller towns
and cities and 81 per thousand in the
larger cities having good police pro-
lection. In addition to this protection
association members purchasing this
safe are allowed a ten per cent dis
count from the selling prices on these
safes.
This plan was deened advisable by
officers of the state association named
on account Of the so-called burglar
proof" safes being easily opened by
burglarious tests. Bank safe manufac-
turers can make bank safes that are
burglar proof and members are urged
to purchase only from companies who
will give satisfactory warrants to this
effect. Cheap bank safes easily open
ed by burglarious methods are an in
vitation to ''yeggs" to make you visit
and the citizen orr citizens of your
town who interfere are inviting a sud
den and unceremonious death, as
'yeggs" are always prepared to kill.
The work of the northwestern ASSOC
Citations in taking up the matter of
bank safes is one of the biggest things
yet accomplished by bankers or other
associations of this character.
