THE MANCHESTER TRUST, 
COMPANY INSTALLS A MOD- ; 
ERN BURGLARPROOF AND 
FIREPROOF VAULT 
This week the Manchester Trust 
Company has added to its equipment 
a modern burglarproof and fireproof 
vault, which has been under construc- 
tion since October. The Banking 
rooms have been remodelled, and 
the Trust Company is now located in 
convenient and attractive quarters. 
The vault and banking rooms will be 
open for public inspection from four 
to eight o’clock, Tuesday afternoon, 
Jani eth 
The vault is located in the rear of 
the banking rooms, and by visiting 
this vault, one may begin a liberal 
education if he wishes to learn all 
about an up-to-date safe deposit vault 
intended to withstand the ingenuity 
of burglars, and the destructiveness 
of fire Once this vault is locked, it is 
the boast of the manufacturers, the 
Mosler Safe Company of Boston, 
that it will defy all human attemps to 
reach its contents until the safety de- 
vices are released by the time lock. 
The vault stands upon its own 
foundation, entirely free from the 
building. The foundation, made of 
the strongest concrete, re-inforced 
with steel rods and railroad iron, 
supports the entire weight of the se- 
curity vault, and forms the walls for 
the storage vault in the basement 
The walls are sixteen inches thick, 
tun in one mould, giving the strength 
of a solid rock. This concrete con- 
struction is absolutely fireproof, has 
high resistance to explosives, and will 
in particular, protect the inner steel 
lining against the “electric burner,” 
and the “oxy-acetylene cutter burner.” 
Just inside of, and lying against these 
walls, is a steel lining two and a 
quarter inches thick, extremely hard, 
to resist drills and constructed in a 
way to give the greatest resistance to 
the shock of explosives, and the 
tearing of wedges. 
The main security vault contains | 
one hundred and nineteen steel safe 
deposit boxes, with room for several 
hundred more when required. The 
main purpose of the Bank, in build-
