" Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in adding my testimony to
the value of your Fireproof Safes.
'• Last Monday night my house, warehouse, and premises were
; the fire raged very fearfully for about
unfortunately burned down
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 and under the
safe, whi„lh greatly added to the intensity of the heat; it remained
in that position about four hours, a when
nd e with great difficulty it
Was got out of the fire and opened, I foumy books and papers all
uninjured.

"Gentlemen,—l was present at the late fire which destroyed the
premises of Mr. Walker, 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 entirely destroyed.
" Being anxious to see if it had been attracted by the sulphur, I
seraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the
sate, and, from analysis, flnd much sulphuret, so that it must ham
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
ttecesssu7 for every one who has books aad accounts of any value.
I am, Gentlemen, yours very faithfully,
