DESTRUCTIVE FIRE at HARPENDEN.
"Harpenden, June 16, 1854.
. _

" Gentlemen, I have great pleasure in adding my testimony to
the value of your Fireproof Safes.
"Lust Monday night my house, warehouse, and premises were
unfortunately burned down; the fire 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 and under the
safe, which great'y added to the intensity of the heat; it remained
in 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 ail
uninjured.
" You are at liberty to make what use you please of this informa-
tion.

" I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully
" WM. WALKER.
" Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, 47A, Moorgate-street, London."
" Agricultural Laboratory, Harpenden, July 6, 1854.
" 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
scraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the
safe, and, from analysis, find much sulphuret, so that it must have
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 and accounts of any value.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours very faithfully,
" F. W. SIMCOE.
"Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, 47A, Moorgate-street."

PORTING EXCURSIONS and BUSINESS.
L. 7 —A gigantic and Well regulated business establishment is as
efficient in one department as another. Whatever is professed is
fulfilled with the greatest correctness, ability, and economy.
Through all classes of society it is well known that E. MOSES and
SON have the most efficient system of trade ever introduced, and it
is everywhere acknowledged that it secures the best quality, the most
artistic fit, and the most com:ortable wear in every description of
clothing.

For extraordinary occasions, when special dress Is required, the
establishment of E. Moses and Sox, and their West-end branch, New
Oxford-street, and Hart-street, is immediately resorted to, as the
stock is well known to be the largest, newest, and most fashionable.

Caps, Boots, &c., at E. Moses and Sox's which are universally cele-
brated for ease, elegance, and durability.

seasonable articles of attire for travelling and appearance in places
of fashionable resort.

Business men are furnished with the most elegant and the lightest
dress which has ever been manufactured, at paces which render
competition futile.

All articles manufactured by E. MOSES and Sox excel as much in
style, nDvelty, and superiority, as they do in the application of eco-
nomical prices to every kind of dress.
Merchants, Exporters, and Emigrants may make the most profit-
able Investments in the Clothing, Shirts, Boots and Shoes, exhibited
in the wholesale department of E. Ai osns and SoN's establishment.

CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
