NEW IMPROVED PATENT EIGHT-FLANCE FIRE-PROOF SAFE.

‘aa only Eight-Flange Safe in the world, and containing more improvements than ANY SAFE made, such as :

Ist. THE PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK, which is placing {the bolt work with the whole of the fill'ng (ix inches) between ii and the outside, that is, as far from the fire and thief as 15 can be

zad. THE PATENT IiINGED CAP—the back plate of the door being on hinges, ensbling the owner, by turning a thumbscrew, to have easy access to the lock and bolt- work. He can thus easily change the lock, clean, oil, and keep the bolt-work in good order,

3rd. IRON INSID#K LINING, stronger than wood, and which retains the moisture in the filling for an indefinite time. Wood is thicker and weaker, and after a few years absorbs the moisture ard “requires filling over again.”

4th, FOUR-‘VHEEL COMBINATION LOCKS, the simplest, strongest, most efficient and easiest to change of anv in use. "

5th. SOLID ANGLE IRON FRONTS, BACKS AND CORNERS, which prevents warping or injury to safe from falling, or falling walls or timbers.

Sth. HIGHT FLANGES—ihe most important improvement ever made in fire-proof safes, providing e'ght laps, thus preventing the passage of heat, it having to pss over twelve inches, ho injury arises from this source, as in other safes containing one, two or three flanges.

rHESE SAFES have stood the test of years, aud the greatest fires en this continent and havc the CHAMPION RECORD in the Boston, Chicago and Haverhill Fires. .
