Vaults Fine Bait.

The safety deposit vaults. which are
probably the finest in the world. We're
the bait used to convince prospective
depoeitors OF the stability OF the trust
company upstairs. Any number OF
downtown clerks and small brokers
| caught with srnall balances In the trust
company relate amusing stories Of how
they were lured into tho institution.
Come downstairs and / viii show you
Uncle Andy's big safe" suggested an
assistant secretary TO an official ot the
state Insurance Department last No.
vember. II is said.
Whom DO moan by Uncle
Andy?'" asked tho doubling depositor,
who had been induced by an agent to
call At tho building.
Andrew Carnegie" replied the subord-
innate oficiai. "
1--WE know him so we'll We call him
| Uncle Andy Owns the whole place.
We keep him In the background. But
come on downstairs. and I will show
you Uncle Andy's big cafe"
That settled 1t. The caller transferred
his small balance from a sound COM
merciai bank, which explains how he
now groans in gon whenever he
passes the building.
The safety deposit vaults are a double
decked affair. Control Of the company
rests with the estate OF tho late G. C..
wickInron and Charles VI. Schwab. who
supplied the material for the vaults
from his steel plant at Bethlehem. The
trust company has a contract with the
safety deposit vaults TO get one-third

As q matter OF fact, andrew Carnegie
wac not even remotely connected with
tho trust company bearing his name On
two occasions he loaned the interests. IN
control OF the institution S2.co0.0co. The
last oar for that sum has never been
paid.
