At eleven o’clock precisely, methodical John Morse, cashier for Keith & Company, took the small, black bag in which he carried his payroll and hurried over to the Merchants’ National Bank. “One hundred and fifty tens, one hundred and fifty fives, one hundred twos and fifty ones this time, please.” “There you are, Jack,” said the teller as he placed the various piles of greenbacks under the wicket, “twenty-five hundred dollars.” John Morse dropped the package into the black bag as he had done on a hundred Saturday mornings before and left the bank. Five minutes later, breathless, speechless, pale and disheveled, he burst into Mr. Keith’s office minus the bag. “They got it all!” he managed to say, and sank into a chair. “I did my best to save it, but they got it all!” “Only last night when I read about that Everett robbery,” said Mr. Keith, glumly, I was thinking ‘it might happen to us.’ It might happen to anyone—once. But we'll take no chances again. Here, John, run over to Stevens’ right now and get the best Colt revolver they carry. Hereafter you and the payroll will come back together— safe.” The newspapers are full of stories of payroll robberies. It happens every day—everywhere. Yet you need not fear. You can go and come in safety protected by a trusty Colt. A Colt revolver may save your money and your life. A small investment for a great protection.

Co., Hartford, Connecticut, they will send you free “The Romance of a Colt,” an interesting book, giving the historical details of the “World’s Right Arm.” GCOMIGIOO C©
