HARRODS SAFE DEPOSIT
AS SAFE AS THE BANK OF ENGLAND
ENTRANCE TO HARRODS’ SAFE DEPOSIT
Harrods’ Safe Deposit—isolated from the outside world—is absolutely secure against Burglary, Fire, Explosives, or Damp.
Never a day passes but some daring burglary is committed—someone’s much valued treasures or heirlooms are stolen; insurance cannot replace these nor cover their loss when sentimental reasons prevail.
Harrods are continually receiving letters from Renters in their Safe Deposit, whose houses have been broken into. Yet they are happily congratulating themselves because their valuables are in safe keeping at Harrods’.
THE most up-to-date Safety Vault in the World. It contains every appliance of mechanical ingenuity known to science, invented to outwit the most accomplished safe breaker, in addition to its absolute security from Fire, Explosives and Damp. Over 30,000 boxes, plate chests, etc., have been collected and delivered to customers during the last 12 years. The list of Renters includes, among other notabilities, an Egyptian Princess, whose deposit in Jewellery was valued at over £600,000.
Ratner’s Patent Compo Steel, which is used throughout, has resisted the most perfect drill manufactured. Even if the Stores were consumed by flames the Safe Deposit Vaults and contents would be uninjured.
The main doors guarding the Safes and Strong Rooms have upon them, in addition to three unpickable and gunpowder-proof locks, Time or Clock Locks, so that when the Deposit is closed at night, under no circumstances can the doors be opened again until business hours next morning (not even by those in possession of the keys), or such other time as the clocks may be set for by the order of the Managing Director to cover Sundays and Holidays.
