ELEVATORS CAUSE
OF MANY ACCIDENTS
Report of National Association Of
Insurance Companies Shows the
Need Of Safe Apparatus.

A report from the National Associa-
tion of Insurance Companies recently
issued states that over 900 persons are
killed and injured each year by eleva-
tors. The report also states that in any
six cities having more than 300, 900 popu-
lation, at least one person is killed and
five injured by elevators during any one
week in the year.
These figures are gradually increasing,
and will continue to do so unless some
real safety device can be found where
by the car will be held securely should
the cables suddenly break. The plunger
elevator is probably the Oldest on the
market. and as II is absolutely safe all
danger OF accidents is eliminated.
So little is known or Its safety and
other good qualities that these machines
are but little used outside OF large build
ings where. before purchasing, the own
ers investigate carefully all types
Washington has several installations Of
plunger elevators. and can be seen at
the American National Bank. PaIais
Royal Washington Loan and Trust
Company, W. B. Moses, and in many
other well known places.
Harry Wardman. the local builder,
has spent much time investigating this
type OF equipment, and has closed q
contract for the elevators for the new
apartment house at Fourteenth and
FaIrmont Streets The Standard Plung-
er Elevator Company, which is TO in
stall this apparatus for him. will have
to drill a hole about 100 feet deep in or
der to set the plunger and their cyIin-
ders.
Persons interested in investigating
this new apparatus will have an oppor-
tunity to see how this hole is drilled in
the earth. When finished Mr.. Ward
mans apartment house will have the
most up to date. safest. and economical
elevator plant of its kind In the city.
