Messrs.

Knoxville, Daily Whig, May 21, 1870. inspected yesterday, at the office of Judge C. W. Jones, at the court house, one of the finest speci¬ Masonic Safe.—We

of mechanism in the shape of a Fire Proof Safe that we beheld. It was manufactured expressly for the use of the Masonic Fraternity of this city, by Mosler, Bahmann & Co., of mens

ever

Cincinnati, and was delivered to the Masonic Committee a few days since, by the Company’s agent in this city, Julius Ochs, direct from the house he represents. The Safe .is certainly all that mechanism, workmanship, and art can accomplish. It is beautifully painted and the door is decorated with the emblems of the different divisions of Masonry, for whose use it was man¬ ufactured, most artistically arranged to correspond exactly with the apartments inside. The interior is divided into three com¬ partments, each of which has a separate door, with the name for which it was contracted beautifully painted upon it: “Master’s Lodge, No. 244,” “Pearl Chapter, No. 24, “Cceur de Leon Commandery, No. 6. ” On the inside facing of the door is

painted

a

most beautiful landscape.

The wood work is

workmanship and

all inlaid mahogany, of the most exquisite finish The whole is secured by a Sargent Combination Lock, which we are assured has stood the test over any other; now

made, in that it has never been picked. We most sincerely commend the firm who manufactured this Safe, and especially Mr. Ochs, their agent, who took especial pains in this instance to please the Masonic brotherhood. Since the above was in type we have received the following testimonial to Mr. Ochs’ Company from the Masonic Com¬ mittee

Ochs, City:

Bear Sir:—The undersigned Committee, appointed by the Masonic Fraternity of Knoxville to purchase an Iron Fire Proof Safe for our body, desire to express to you our entire sat¬ isfaction with the Safe manufactured for us by Messrs. Mosler, Bahmann & Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio, whom you represent as

agent.

The Safe.by far surpassed our expectations—our order having been filled to the slightest detail, and for beauty and workman¬

ship we think can not be surpassed by any manufactory in the country. We take great pleasure in recommending your Com¬ pany to the Fraternity and the public in general, feeling confi¬ dent that their demand will be filled in the most satisfactory manner.

Yery respectfully and fraternally yours, S PEN CEB MUNSON, A. CALDWELL, I. M. THORNBURGH, WM. MORROW, H. M. AIKEN.
