DESTRUCTIVE FIRE"
H atrpenden, HARPENDEN.
a June 18, 1854.
" Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in adding my testimony to
the value of your Fireproof Sa'es.
"Last Monday night my house, warehouse, and premises were
unfortunately burned down; the tire raged very fearfully for about
two hours, and, owing to the great scarcity of water, the whole of
my premises and stock were consumed.
" The safe I purchased of you had a most severe test, in conse-
quence of a barrel of brimstone standing close to it and melting with
the heat of the fire, the burning lava running all
over ad under the
safe, which great y added to the intensity of the heat nit remained
In that position about four hours, and when with great difficulty
allit
was got out of the fire and opened, I found my books and papers
uninjured.
" You are at liberty to make what use you please of this in forma-

Hon.
" respectfully
I am, gentlemen, yours
"W M. WALKER.
" Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, 47A, Moorgate-street, Londons4..
~Agricultural Laboratory, Harpenden, July 6, 18" "
Gentlemen,—I was present at the late fire which destroyed the
premises of Mr. W alker, Harpenden, and was much surprised at the
great amount of heat your safe resisted, and still 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 sulphur, I
scraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the
safe, and, from analysis, find much sulphuret, so that it must hava
been greatly acted upon by the sulphur, yet the books and papers
were perfectly uninjured.
I must in justice say that your safes are invaluable, and very
necessary for every one who has books asd accounts of any value.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours very faithfully,
" F. W. SIMCGE.
" Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, 47A, Moorgate-street."
