Description
STRATFORD STRONGHOLD MARK 3 SAFE
Of all the things you buy, none needs more careful selection than a Safe. Better not to buy one at all than to buy a bad one, for it may be an invitation to burglary and may fail in fire. The same may be said of most of the old safes in use today modern methods of attack make short work of them, and their insulation against fire probably gave out years ago.
Excellent protection at surprisingly reasonable cost is now available in Stratford Stronghold Mark 3 Safes. Bristling with burglar-baffling devices, including one that protects against explosive attack on the lock, and giving fire protection to books and papers, the Stronghold is ideal for the smaller business. The strength of a safe must of course be commensurate to the value of its contents and the risk involved. Stratford or your authorised dealer will gladly give you confidential advice.
