The "Lock Handle" Attache Case.

TH

HE LOCK HANDLE," as illustrated above, fills a long-felt want. The ordinary Sliding Nozzle Lock, unless locked with a key, is always liable to fly open.

The "LOCK HANDLE" is absolutely secure, one half being attached to the body of the case and the other to the lid; when the two parts are engaged and snapped together the case is doubly fastened and on the key being turned in the lock, the case is trebly fastened.

1

The closed HANDLE (see top case in illustration) is the essence of neatness and security and very comfortable to curry; the second case shows position" of the two parts of handle for opening, the bottom case shows the handle opened.

The bottom part of handle must lie on front of case for opening and closing,

A Case fitted with this HANDLE can be carried without fear, the user knowing the impossibility of the case flying open.

A glance at the pivots and slots near handle plates will at once show the reason for this,

Wo stock this case and shall be pleased to show it to anyone interested.
