The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1920-04-23

So many things are happening
these days that it isn't safe to
think you have done your best
YOU MUST KNOW 1T.
With this thought in mind we
began to look into the question
of the proper protection of our
vaults against burglary and our
bank against daylight hold-up.
The banks of the Central West
have done their share in feeding
the burglar" during the past few
years and so far as we are con-
Cerned we do not intend to con-
tribute a penny toward the sup
port of any bank robber, no mat
ter how clever he may be.

$4,000 REWARD

In CASH will be paid by the O. B.
McClintOck Co. of Minneapolis,
Minn., for the capture and cOnvic-
ton of any person Or persons
attempting to burglarize Or rob
this bank.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1920-04-23

To back up this determination,
we have just installed the Most
Complete Electric Burglar Alarm
and the only Thermo-Electric
Protection System possible to
buy.
This system protects our entire
vault against everyEkind of attack
possible for burglars to make.
You will understand the reason
why we feel SO confident about
our safety after you have seen the
way this system operates.
The manufacturers fully guaran-
tee this system, cannot be defeat
ed by the most expert burglar.
