New York April 10 The secure location of John D Rockefeller’s collateral, estimated at 200 million, was disclosed. The treasure is kept in a bombproof and fireproof vault beneath the New York Produce Exchange near Beaver Street, with entry from Beaver Street close to the Standard Oil HQ at 25 Broadway. A heavy iron cage and two padlocks guard the entry, underscoring extraordinary precautions.
In a detailed account, President W H Pearson of the Safe Deposit company turns a key and releases a roll of combination locks.

The man opening the upper combination lacks knowledge of the numbers and cannot operate his lock belt until padlocks are removed by a third man. Picking these locks is deemed impossible.
