BRITAIN BUILDING SAFES
Air raids have created a certain demand in Britain for anti-air raid safes, but the production of these is not interrupting in any degree the considerable orders which are coming to London from Empire and foreign countries for safes to resist fire and the burglar. One firm continues to make them for use in the banks of Greece and Turkey. During the past few years contracts for strong room and general erection work for the Bank of Greece and the National Bank 'of Greece have amounted to £100,000. One other interesting Balkan commission carried cut in the same workshop was foi a safe of intricate and ingenious design for Marie, Queen Mother of Jugoslavia. They are now at work on substantial contracls for strong room doors for the South African Reserve Bank, a job jimilar to that carried out for the National Bank of Icei land. An important development of their work is the provision of heavy lead lined safes for preserving radium supplies.
