GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;
SN"TIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE-
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.
IN the last great Fire in George-street, Manchester,
r„ nine large Houses had their Booyeburned in Iron Safes,
,mosets with Iron Doors, Wrough(lron Fireproof (?) Safes,
"‘°. Bzc. &c. ; and again on the,above recent occasion, a great
number
of parties have sufferfd the same calamity. The only
are which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded to below.
: " Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
ta;,GENTLEMEN,-Lln the late Fire in Market-street
, which
la"relY gutted the entire block of buildings ofhich my Ware-
formed part, I have sincere leasure in informing you
weld m-
, y books, together with a quantity.of valuable papers,
tetletes, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
-B'4lg Safs, which I strongly recommend to the public.
I am your obedient servant,
" THOMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant,
Messrs. Milner and Son

outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents
ti„lue unsinged, being steamed (Wiled instead of burned) by
evaporating principle of the Safe. Near to it a large
rough
full Fireproof (?) chambered Safe full of valuable
lis and Documents before the Fire, was "found to contain
ing but tinder and ashes after it !
the numerous accidental Fires and experimental terts
of lqilners' Safes have been exposed to—every description
b,"afe in use—Fireproof (so called) or otherwise have been
,_.rnt.out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the
tventrfic and practical authorities who have tested them, and
? Patentees' during seven years' active working of their
;,"ent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains nor
hys.t in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to
ieecuge themselves at all times to supply the most complete and
chlre depositories for Books Documents, and Valuables ;
„t_ing the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors
bepe World, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Cham-
th,,s,,%. Out of upwards of 20.000 of their Safes in use amongst
th- Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain—
tx° Class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
kßosure to accidental fire have occurred, from which Thomas
ner and Son select the following as instances, in which they
' °f opinion that no other Safe than their own would have
preserved its contents unburnt.
