The Trade, Hotelkeepers, and others have now an op-
portunity of supplying their customers with a genuine
Havana Cigar, which has been until now so very difficult

One Pound of CIGARS. In sending Orders, please state if

MILNERS' HOLDFAST AND FIRE-
RESISTING SAFES.
Improved under the experienced and extensive Working of
MILNERS' QUADRUPLE PATENTS,
SEALED 1840, 1851, 1854, AND 1855.
The Strongest, Best, and Cheapest Safeguards in the world
against Fire, Robbery, or Violence. With Milners' recently
double) Patented "Gunpowder-proof Solid Lock and Safe Door,
without which no Safe in the hands of the Public is secure.
NOTE. —All Milner's Holdfast Safes in use may be made com-
plete with these" Improvements,” and every information afforded
on application as below.
The attention of the Public is invited to the following Experi-
ments (see Liverpool Mercury and Standard of following dates:)
" Liverpool, December Bth, 1854.
" We hereby certify that we have this day witnessed some very
highly satisfactory experiments at Milners' Phcenix Safe Works,
proving the perfect security of their newly-patented `Gunpowder-
proof Solid Locks and Safe Doors,' against attempts to force the
same open with gunpowder ; the door of another safe, experi-
mented upon, fitted with the open six-lever and detector lock.
although of equal strength, being shattered and blown off by the
explosion of the.gunpowder introduced through the key-hole.--
Wm. Brown, M.P.; Joseph Boult ; William Rishton, Surveyor;
Henry Hulme; Joseph R. Beck; James Johnson, Deputy Chair-
man of the Watch Committee; James Robertson, Ditto; J. J.
Greig, Head-Constable; Robert Clough, In-door Superintendent;
Benjamin Ride,Divisional-Superintendent ; Thomas Quick, Ditto;
Joseph Bates, Detective-Inspector; Robert P. 'Thacker; John
Willox ; and Samuel Moises."
MILNERS' PHCENIX (212°) SAFEWORKS, LIVERPOOL.
The most extensive and complete in the world, employing from
two to three hundred hands, assisted by powerful, original, and
elaborate machinery and implements, adapted for every branch
of the work; established for carrying out the important improve-
ments under Milners' Quadruple Patents to the interior and ex-
terior of their Holdfast, and Fire-resisting Safes, and for supply-
ing to the public the Strongest Safeguards against Fire, Robbery,
or Violence extant, at the lowest prices consistent with the most
perfect efficiency and security.
CAUTlON.—Milners' Holdfast Safes are of three qualities--
the cheapest superior to any other safes—and range under three
Lists, namely, Milners' Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe-, List No.
2, at 10s. per foot; Milners' Strong Holdfast and Fire-retesting
Safe, List No. 3, at 15s. per foot; Milners' First-class Strong
Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 4, at 20i. per foot. The
public are deceived by comparisons being made between the
prices of the latter superb class of Milners' Safes and the inferior
articles offered by incompetent makers to booksellers, ironmon-
gers, brokers, or any.others who will incur the serious responsibi-
lity of selling them, which are really worthless articles- and dear
at any price. What greater delusion than an unsafe Safe?
