BURGLARS
Open a Safe of thS Ordinary
Kind with Ridiculous Ease.
They very seldom care to tackle
burglar-proof vaults like those in
The Bank of Tryon. The wise
man "will, therefore, open up an
account there and thus put his
money" where it is beyond .the
reach of burglars. The less yotf
have the less you can afford to
lose it.
