A eroplane sailing is declared to
be the most ex h ilaratin g mode of

but leaves the windows unlocked, therefore you are not safe
in your house from burglars. We have the best all round

1st. Because the lock works autom atically and always
locks itself and the window cauuot fall and break the glass.
2nd. Because the lock keeps windows from rattling,
which no other lock will do and is worth more than the price
of it.
trd. Because you can ventilate your rooms from top or
bottom, which ought to be done for h ea lth ’s sake, and no one
can enter from the outside, an d you will feel perfectly safe.
