SAFE DEPOSIT DEPARTMENT .- We beg to call your attention to our Fire and Burglar Proof SAFE DEPOSIT VAULT. It cannot be assailed by fire, being entirely outside the building, and under the heavy granite double sidewalk. Private boxes, strong in themselves, are protected by massive steel safes of the most approved construction, and these can only be reached through two sets of heavy vault doors, guarded by a Yale Time Lock. There are seventy-six distinct plates of welded steel and iron between the outside of the vault and the inner boxes. Trusty night watchmen pass entirely around the vault at stated intervals, and register their visits on a Watchman's Time Clock. We regard the vault as ABSOLUTELY SAFE and claim with confidence, that it is.the strongest in New England. Boxes, under the entire control of the renter, are $10, $15, $20 per annum-a small sum for the perfect security we offer.
SILVER VAULT .- We have also constructed a vault for storage of Family Silver, Laces, Jewels, eto .. which has been built to supply an increasing demand for a place where heirlooms and other articles cherished for association, may be stored in safety. We cordially invite your inspection. FRED P. HOLT, Supt.

All Boilers under the care of this Company are care- result in disaster, involving not only destruction of prop- fully inspected annually, internally and externally, by . erty, but loss of life and personal injury. It is therefore competent, practical men, and frequent visita of inspec- well to consider these points when affecting Insurance. tion are made beside. Steam Gauges are tested, Safety Valves properly adjusted and weighted, Boller Connec- tions carefully examined, and information given relative to setting and management-all with a view to economy in the use of fuel, and safety to fire and property.
Thorough inspection is the foundation of this business, and is the best safeguard against accidents occurring in the use of steam boilers; nevertheless, circumstances may arise beyond the control of the steam user independ- ent of any inspection, however thorough, which would
The work of the Company thus far has brought to light many and dangerous defects; and we risk nothing in saying that disastrous explosions have been prevented. Where boilers are left unexamined for months and years together, incrustation, internal and external corrosion, burned plates and blisters, shorten their working age and render them positively dangerous. The usual mode of inspection, applying the hydraulic test, take no cog nizance of these defects, and does but little towards insuring safety.
