Jasper County Democrat, Volume 6, Number 50, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 March 1904 — FIRST NATIONAL’S NEW SAFE. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

FIRST NATIONAL’S NEW SAFE.

The First National Bank of Rensselaer, has just purchased for delivery about April 15, one of the celebrated Corless burglar proof bank safes of which the cut below is a good illustration:

These safes have been in general use for 25 years, and there has never been a successful attack made on one of them by burglars. The peculiar construction being a sphere within a sphere, the walls of each 12 inches in thickness, the inner revolving to allow access to the contents during the day and effectually securing it when locked makes an attack by explosion out of the question. The directors of this progressive bank are to be congratulated on their foresight in thus providing for the funds of the institution the very best security to be had in the market. The banking rooms will be changed somewhat, to accomodate the new safe, which will be placed in a conspicuous place near the front window.
