H
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE a
arp t HARPENDEN.
"enden, June 15, 1854. ,
" Gentlemen,--I have great pleasure In adding my testimony to
the 'cable of your Fireproof to es.
" Last ;Monday ni;lit my house, warehouse, and premises were
unfortunately burned down; the gre rag& ver fearfully or about
two hours, and, owing to the grfat scarcity ofy water, the f
%%bola of
my premises and stock w: re consumed. •
"'fhe safe I putchas.d of you had a most seven: test, in cons--
quence of a barrel of brimstone standing clos, to it and melting ssi h
the heat of the tire, the burning lava running all over and under the
sate, whit great y added to the intensity of the heat; it rem iined
!it that position about four hours, and when with great difficulty it
was got out of the fire and opened, I found my books and papers all
uninjured. •
"You are at liberty tb make what use you please of this informa-
tion.

" I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully
" W M. WALKER.
"Messrs. Thos. Miln,r and Son, i 7A, Monrgate-,treet, London."
" Agricultural Laboratory, Ilarpenden, July 6, i 854.
" Gentlemen,—l was present at the late fire which destroyed the
premises of Mr. Stalker. Ilarpenden, and was much surprised at the
erect amount of heat your safe resisted, and sill more surprised
(when it was made known to me that a barrel of sulphur stood near
it) that it was not enti ely destroyed.
" Being anxious to see if it had been attracted by the sulohnr,
scraped some of the I listered iron from the Inside and outside of the
,afe, and, from analysis. find much sulphuret, so that it must have
hem grea'ly acted anon by the sulphur, yet the books and papers
were perfectly uninjured.
'I must in justice say that your ssfes are invaluable, and very
necessary for every one who has books said accounts of any value.
I am, Gentlemen, yours very faithfully,
" F. W. SIMCOE.
"Messrs. Thos. Milner and son, 47*., Moorgate-street."
