The First National's New Safe

A new time lock safe of recent design, , rnanufactured by the Detroit Safe Co., has just been put in the vault at the lst National Bank. The safe is divided into compartments, the doors foreach, as well as the side door being nontrolled by the clock that runs the time lock. Tliis is an entirely new feature. The time lock is so arranged that the outside door could be blown off by dynamite or destroyed by cutting out, and vet the time lock would be uninjured, and no one could get into the inner apartments. The clock eau be set to run 72 hours. The safe is not very large, but it is a beautiful piece of work, and the mechanism of the clock and the locks is such that a mechanical genius would flnd pleasure in studying them. The safe cost $1,500 spot cash, and since it was bought the rise iu every thing that is made of iron is so great that it would take $1,700 or $1,800 to purchase it now. The bank certainly has a safe place to store its funds, and can give burglars and daylight robbers both a merry goby.
