Due to carelessness and flimsy building construc- tion, entire cities have been wiped out by flames. Public indifference and lax fire inspection costs this country hundreds of mil- lions annually.

Though built of incombustible ma- terials flames from adjoining buildings may yet invade them. You and your employes may be ever so careful, but you cannot control the actions of The Man Next Door. Union Savings and Trust Building, Cincinnati, Ohio — Burned December 10, 1912. Flames from the burning Gibson Hotel next door melted window glass and gutted twenty-two offices. Chronicle Building, Augusta, Ga. — Burned March 22, 1916; gutted by fire next door. The two SAFE-CABINETS saved their contents. Mayo Building, Tulsa, Oklahoma — Burned Oct. 23, 1917; modern "fire- proof" construction ■ Flames from the adjoin- ing Ohio Building melted wire window glass and destroyed offices on three floors. 2 !■■■■■ ■!!!■; 4 THE SAFE-CABINET "THE WORLD'S SAFEST SAFE 7 Where records are small in volume but great in value. General offices of N. Snellenberg Department Store, Philadelphia. SAFE-CABINETS are placed under the desk of each clerk. Records Worth Making Are Worth Protecting Your records represent an investment of time, labor and money. The brains of high-priced executives designed them and the system of which they are so vital a part. A force of clerks compile, check, summarize and file your records. It is estimated that fully $50,000,000 are spent annually for office appliances such as typewriters, adding machines, letter duplicators and filing devices in the United States. The sum is justified by the value of the records. Accurate knowledge of past and present transactions form the basis of judging the future, and records constitute history of those transactions. On that dread day when fire comes, the possession of vital records is often the deciding factor that deter- mines whether the business shall continue in temporary quarters or shall be crippled while insurance adjustment is taking place. Not Less Vital in Small Offices Relatively, the loss of records' by fire is more serious for the small concern than for the large. The value of almost any one record to a business is more than sufficient to pay for safe-cabinets to protect all its other records. THE SAFE-CABINE1 THE WORLD S SAFEST SAFE rr-j The National Standard Fire Test mmaaaaammmw:- ^m^ ■:■:. ■:...■ .Plffi JH — — ^^ filSflM asll ■■■ T/je temperature curve used in the National Standard Fire Test The National Standard Fire Test has been adopted by the Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., as a uniform method of determining resistance to heat offered by products that are submitted to them for testing. WHAT THIS CURVE MEANS— Beginning at zero the temperature applied to the article tested is graduated according to the following tables : 1,000° Fat 6 minutes 1,300° F at 10 minutes 1,500° F at 30 minutes 1,700° F at 1 hour 1,850° F at 2 hours 2,000° F at 4 hours That is to say, at the end of six minutes the temperature has gradually risen at a uni- form rate to 1,000 °. At the end of 10 minutes it is 1,300°. By the time 4 hours has elapsed a temperature of 2,000 ° has been attained, etc. The safe-cabinet company received recognition by the Underwriters' Laboratories and was granted their Insulated Cabinet Label in 1912. In 1915 it was granted the Light-Weight Safe Label. In 1918 the safe-cabinet was awarded the Class "A" and Class "B" Inspected Safe Labels, signifying 4-hour and 2-hour protection against severe and continuous heat respectively.

These are minimum requirements THE SAFE-CABINET THE WORLD S SAFEST SAFE Laboratory Testing Furnace. Lined with fire brick to withstand the terrific tem- peratures developed in fire tests. Thermo couples (electrical thermometers) placed inside and outside of safe to be tested to register inner and outer temperatures. A Furnace Laboratory Test How much heat will a safe stand? Will it go through a severe fire of long duration? Will it stand a drop of several stories? To determine how much heat a safe will resist, it must be tested in fire of known inten- sity and duration. The test of actual fire is good as far as it goes, but it is not scientific. It is only by tests made in a laboratory furnace, under labora- tory conditions, that definite figures can be obtained. These pictures show a laboratory furnace, the safe-cabinet surrounded with gas burners, with electrical thermometers placed inside and outside, and a removable wall built about it to confine the flames to all sides. The safe-cabinet, Class "A," has been heated for over four hours in this furnace. At the end of that time it is white hot, the bricks surrounding it are translucent from the terrific heat and the walls of the furnace itself are glowing red. The safe-cabinet, Class "B," has stood a similar test for more than two hours. These conditions are far more severe than those existing in an ordinary fire, yet at the end of hundreds of such tests, the safe- cabinet has fully protected its contents. The safe is surrounded with a removeable wall of brick to confine the flames from the gas burners in the floor to all sides of the safe.

THE SAFE-CABINET THE WORLD S SAFEST SAFE "~9 A Duplication of Actual Fire Conditions What happens to a safe when it gets heated red- hot, crashes to the basement of a burning building and is covered with tons of debris? Will it protect its contents through such an ordeal? If fire should again reach it after it has fallen, would it still protect the records inside? The safe-cabinet has been tested for these con- ditions in the laboratory furnace of The Under- writers' Laboratories, Inc., as well as in our own. These pictures show the safe-cabinet placed in the testing furnace where it is heated red-hot. It is then taken to the precipitation tower and immediately hurled to a solid concrete base thirty feet below. A ton of debris is then thrown on it to duplicate the effect of falling walls. Immediately taken to the testing furnace again, it is again subjected to intense heat. Even after this teriffic heat-run and impact test, the contents are found to be fully protected. THE SAFE-CABINET in the Testing Furnace THE SAFE-CABINET hurled a distance of 30 feet Contents jumbled but fully protected THE SAFE-CABINET after the second heat run A ton of debris thrown onto THE SAFE-CABINET \Q THE SAFE-CABINET "THE WORLD'S SAFEST SAFE" The Day of the Fire— YOUR Fire! "The day of the fire" is a milestone in the life of the business man whose busi- ness has been wiped out by flames. For him events are referred to as happen- ing "before the fire" and "after the fire." Record protection is bought for one day— "The Day of the Fire." A safe that protects your records at that critical time is cheap no matter how much you paid for it. The safe that fails to protect on "The Day of the Fire," may prove ruinous in cost even though given you for nothing. Here was a going concern that was building up profits— the culmination of years of planning, sacrifice and effort. Fire came. Production was stopped. All valuable papers were destroyed. With all records gone, the business crippled, a fresh start had to be made. Because the records had been burned up, the insurance companies were unable, though willing, to make insurance settlement. This meant delay at the very time when prompt action was needed.

BEFORE Could This Happen to Your Busi- ness? f «f mnm$ *"» mm mm THE SAFE-CABINET THE WORLD S SAFEST SAFE 11 Record Protection That Often Fails to Protect Wooden Files — Wooden files may give you filing efficiency and convenient access to your records, but they won't give you protection against fire, water and theft. Made of combustible material, they are easily set on fire. Smoke and water, too, find easy entrance to them. Steel Files — Steel conducts heat instead of protecting against it. Actual flames may be kept out but records in steel files are often ignited by contact with the glowing metal. They generally offer less resistance to heat than wooden files. Vaults — A vault is no better than its door. If this is nothing more than an uninsulated iron shutter, heat will quickly buckle it and allow flames to enter. And fires frequently originate in vaults. Inflammable records, wooden shelving, accumulated dust, furnish the fuel; a spark from defective wiring or a cigarette stub furnish the cause. Iron Safes — Heavy iron safes are made today on the same plan of construction that was used years ago. A safe should be judged by its heat resistance as determined by laboratory tests. Caution demands that you should provide known, scientifically-prov- en protection for your valuable records. Do not make the mistake of think- ing that your records are protected simply because they are housed and filed. Buy your record protection by test not by guess. 12 THE SAFE-CABINET "THE WORLD'S SAFEST SAFE" Filled with valuable records, this S A F E - CABINET owned by the Parisian Comp any, B irming- ham, Ala., fulfilled the trust placed in it. THE SAFE CABINET owned by the T. S. South- gate Com- pany. Au- gusta, Ga. It protected its contents through the fierce con- flagration that destroy- ed the busi- ness section of the city a few years ago. SAFE -CABINETS That Protected Their Contents Through Fire These safe-cabinets went through the test of actual fire and fulfilled the trust placed in them. All the fires were severe ones but the contents of every safe-cabinet were fully protected. How positive are you that the container in which your records are kept would per- form equally well? That ponderous, iron safe or that vault or that filing device — have you ever made any attempt to satisfy your- self just how long they would resist the intense heat of a fire? Is anyone sponsor for the protection they should give you? Think this over. Record protection is bought for one day — the day when fire comes. For that day the best protection is none too good and is the cheapest you can buy. Keep your priceless records in a safe that offers known, proven resistance to heat. The safe-cabinet will give you such protection. THE SAFE-CABINET that protected the records of the Progressive Metal eY Refining Company, Milwauke, Wis.

THE SAFE-CABINET THE WORLD S SAFEST SAFE ""13 These SAFE-CABINETS Fell Several Stories The safe-cabinets on this page crashed to the basement when the floors on which they were located were eaten by flames. Buried under tons of burning debris, they could not be reached for days, but in every case they fully protected their records. The first picture is the safe- cabinet of Suppes, Abicht & Suppes, located on the third floor of the Ohio Building at Tulsa, Okla. In the disastrous fire of October, 1917, this safe- cabinet crashed to the basement and remained there for two days before it could be opened. The safe-cabinet lying in the ice-covered ruins was owned by The Fantle Bros.-Danforth Company, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It dropped from the balcony of the second floor to the basement. "No use opening it. Your records are burned up," said the skeptics. This safe protected invoices and inventories — vital records in insurance settlement. The last picture is the safe- cabinet of Mr. Percy Collins also in the Ohio Building fire. It fell from the second floor to the basement and remained buried for two days. 14 THE SAFE-CABINET "THE WORLD'S SAFEST SAFE' UNDERWRITERS' LABORATORIES.

The manufacturer of the door will not vouch for the work of the mason. A vault has hazards of interior fire, due to swinging lamp cords, accumulated rub- bish, wooden shelving and smoking. It is as immovable as a cave and anchors an office to one spot. Private papers kept in it are frequently seen by prying eyes. Vaults waste valuable space because of their thick walls and needed inside for trucks. Vaults have a right place and a wrong place. They should be in the basement where floor space is inexpensive, where they are subjected to the least danger of destruction by fire and where old, non-current records can be stored.

Tremendous in weight, it is a serious strain on floors. To move it requires planks, tackle and the aid of profes- sional safe movers. The labor, time, expense and danger in- volved, make it a job that is often deferred and always dreaded. Immensely thick walls re- duce the interior filing capacity to a space too small to be equipped with anything but a few immovable wooden partitions and shelves. Weight alone won't save your records on "The Day of the Fire," but heat resist- ance will. It took seven men two days to move these two safes two blocks. Think of the cost and time re- quired.

Laboratory furnace tests show that the average steel file will offer resistance to the heat of The Under- writers' National Standard Fire Test, for five minutes, an average temperature of 500 degrees. Steel is an excellent conductor of heat and soon becomes glowing hot in a fire. Wooden files, while better non-conductors of heat, protect records only about one minute longer in a lab- oratory furnace test. Water and smoke find easy entrance to the numerous open- ings in steel and wood- en files, and records blackened by soot or converted into pulp by water might as well be destroyed by fire. Yet many of the priceless records of business are kept in steel and wooden files. Steel letter file found in Chronicle Bldg., Augusta, Ga. , fire Mar. 22, 1916. Contents fully de- stroyed. Steel fdes of R. G. Dun Com- pany, found af- ter Tulsa, Okla., fire of Oct. 23, 1917. Note the charred remains of what were valuable records.

THE SAFE-CABINET "THE WORLD'S SAFEST SAFE" 27 What Insures Your Insurance? ^ Uninsurable y and Excepted 10 property U scripts, mechanical drawings, dies or patterns. Have you ever read these lines in your fire insurance policy ? Could you fulfill your part of the contract the day after the fire? The most that fire insurance can do is to pay a fixed sum of money for proven loss sustained. It cannot preserve or protect records and it can- not give them back to you on the day after the fire. Insurance companies want to do their part — they are anxious to make prompt and adequate settlement. But if the records needed to prove loss are destroyed, they cannot do it. This means delay at the very time you want action. "Insured loss is paid on the basis of the value of the property on hand on the day of the fire." Field Book of Insurance Instruction. The safe-cabinet insures your insurance — preserves for you the rec- ords you need after a fire. With these records you can at once get the funds required for a resumption of opera- tions. Without them you must wait for the appraisors' report on the amount of the loss you suffered. Failure to safe-guard your invoices, inventories, books of account and vouch- ers may cost you a sum that would have provided safe-cabinet protection for all your records, many times over. This policy shall not cover accounts, bills, currency, deeds, evidences of debt, money, notes or securities; nor, unless specifically named hereon in writing, bullion, manu- al Requirements in case of loss. Make a complete inventory of the damaged and undamaged property, stating the 132 '" v< lv,so ' quantity and cost of each article and the 133 amount claimed thereon; and, the insured shall, within 134 sixty days after the fire, unless such time is extended 135 in writing by this Company, render to this Company a 136 proof of loss. 154 shall produce for examination all books of account, bills, 155 invoices, and other vouchers, or certified copies thereof, if 156 originals be lost, at such reasonable time and place as may 157 be designated by this Company or its representative. Your records of today guarantee your business of tomorrow. Where do you keep your "books of account, bills, invoices and other vouchers?" 28 THE SAFE-CABINET THE WORLD S SAFEST SAFE UNDERWRITERS' LABORATORIES.

For interior equipment see pages 42 to 47 inclusive. THE SAFE-CABINE1 THE WORLD S SAFEST SAFE 29 What if ^our Home Burned To-night ! Would tomorrow and the years to come be clouded with remorse by the loss of treasures that nothing can replace? Photographs, heirlooms gifts, personal letters and mementos — could you state their value to you in dollars and cents? If fire suddenly came tonight, where would it find your silverware, jewels, rare collections, your inventory of household goods and such private papers as you keep at home? How about the days, weeks or months that your house is shut up and empty while you are out of town? Suppose fire should visit it then? Keep your valuables in the safe-cabinet, installed in your own home, where it will be instantly accessible and convenient to use. THE SAFE-CABINET No. 12 THE SAFE-CABINET for Your Home There are sizes of the safe-cabinet espe- cially suited for home use. The No. 12, shown at the left, has the following inside dimensions: width 20 inches, height 26 inches, depth from front to back, 15 inches. Another popular size is the No. 42, shown on page 26. The interior dimensions are: width 20 inches, height 40 inches, depth from front to back, 15 inches. The safe-cabinet can be fitted with plain or lock drawers and shelves. 30 THE SAFE-CABINET THE WORLD S SAFEST SAFE Protect Your Wooden and Steel Files in THE SAFE-CABINET Files of wood and steel have a right and wrong use. They are well adapted to the efficient filing of records but they should not be depended upon to give protection. The safe-cabinet, Nos. 14, 83 and 84, will protect the filing devices of other manufacturers. Continue to use the filing devices you have already bought, but protect them and their contents by plac- ing them in "The World's Safest Safe." THE SAFE-CABINETS Nos. 83 and 8U that will give protection to wooden or steel files. Only THE SAFE- CABINET itself need be purchased. Size 1U accommodates a single stack of vertical equip- ment. THE SAFE-CABINET "THE WORLD'S SAFEST SAFE" 31 SAFE-CABINETS That Protect Wooden or Steel Files Projection of hardware Length over all To enable us to furnish safe- cabinets that will properly ac- commodate steel or wooden files, we must have the dimensions of each section as indicated on this illustration. Give the actual depth of the sec- tion itself, the depth of the pro- jecting hardware and the depth over all. The safe-cabinet will ac- commodate files of more than one depth. For example vertical letter files of, say, 24 inches depth on top of which are files, say, 18 inches deep can be placed in a safe-cabinet No. 84 that will take the 24 inch vertical letter files. The height of the entire stack of files must be taken into con- sideration, of course. Any space that remains in the safe-cabi- net after the files have been installed can be utilized for plain or roller shelves. As safe-cabinets Nos. 14, 83 and 84 are made in odd width and are designed to accommodate the filing devices of other manufac- turers, safe-cabinet equipment, other than plain or roller shelves must be specially built. Safe-cabinets Nos. 14, 83 or 84 are delivered empty and the files installed when the safe-cabinet is in place.

It can also be secured in Mahogany, Oak, Circassian Walnut or White Enamel finishes at a slightly higher cost, to cover the special labor required. Interior Equipment — Safe-cabinet interior equipment is removable and interchangeable. It is suspended in the safe-cabinet by projecting flanges on the ends and back of the interior equipment sections that engage in slots on the inner sides and back of the safe-cabinet. When ordering be careful to specify what filing sections are wanted. Hardware Trim— The safe-cabinet is equipped with brass combination dial, handles and label holders.

NEW YORK CITY ROOMS 1830-1036-1637 II SAMUEL B. BREWSTER, SECRETARY New York, Nov. 10, 1916. 191 Mr, W. V. Dick, President, Safe*-Cabinet Company, Marietta, Ohio. Dear Sir:- I am pleased to advise you that at a meeting of the Association held on the second instant, a Resolution as follows was adopted, to become effective January 1st, 1917 :• "The Mercantile Open Stock Committee submitted a report in reference to the application of the Safe Cabinet Company of Marietta, Ohio, that their "S-Cientest" model safe Cabinet be accorded the Fire-proof rating. UPON MOTION, duly seconded: IT WAS RESOLVED, that Safe Cabinets bearing the label of the "Underwriters' laboratories, Inc. Inspected light Weight Safe" be given the Fire-proof rating, and that all other Safe Cabinets take the rate which now obtains and appearing in the Manual on Page M-S-2." In response to the request contained in your communication of recent date, I am enclosing herewith negatives of photographs taken by me in Marietta, and which negatives I trust you will return at your convenience. With kind regards, I am Yours very truly, SBB/S Secretary. 34 THE SAFE-CABINET "THE WORLD'S SAFEST SAFE" Interior Equipment for THE SAFE-CABINET The safe-cabinet can be equipped with filing devices, such as drawers, lockers and shelves, for any form or size of business record. Every piece of interior equipment has projecting flanges on the ends and back which engage in slots on the inner sides and back of the safe-cabinet. These slots are cut at half-inch intervals, permitting any section to be raised or lowered to suit efficiency and convenience of arrangement. Any drawer can be equipped with locks — paracentric or flat key. This guards against inspection of private papers while the safe is open and in use. Unless specially ordered, every lock will pass a different key. Master keys can be provided, however, which will open all the locks in the safe even though each lock is provided with a different key. Vertical partitions (see page 41) are suspended from the under side of plain shelves. They can be shifted from side to side or entirely removed. Vertical partitions more than 12 inches high are specially built and fastened at the bot- tom as well as at the top. Such partitions cannot be shifted or removed. To economize vertical height, several sections can be built into one, thus eliminating the half-inch facing between the sections and saving that much space. No extra charge is made for combining sections of interior equipment, providing they are standard in every other way. Special size drawers, lockers, etc., or special combinations of different sections will be built to order. An extra charge is made to cover the special material and extra labor required. For very large and heavy books, reinforced plain shelves or roller shelves are recommended. For safe-cabinets already equipped with ordinary plain shelves a reinforcing bar can be used. This bar fits snugly on the under side of the shelf, is not visible when in place and gives great rigidity to an ordinary shelf. Sections of filing equipment can be ordered with some of the units left out. For example: If but two 5x3 card drawers are required in a safe 30 inches wide, it is not necessary to order the entire section shown at the top of the opposite page. It can be obtained with but two drawers and the remainder of the space left open. Such sections require special construction. To estimate the capacity of any drawer, figure that about 200 unfolded letters can be filed to the lineal inch, including the average number of guides and folders. For estimating the number of cards that can be put in card drawers, figure 60 heavy weight, 80 medium weight and 100 light weight cards to the lineal inch of depth, including the average number of guide cards. Allow for the future growth of your business records. Buy sufficient in- terior equipment to not only accommodate your present records but additional records which you will unquestionably have during the next five years. If only plain shelves are ordered for the safe-cabinet be sure to get enough of them. It is better to have a dozen shelves well filled than half a dozen with a large amount of unoccupied space above the records.
