lemen,—ln the late Fire in Market-street, which en-
tirely gutted the whole block of buildings of which my Ware-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you
that my books, together with a quantity of valuable papers,
watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the public.
"I am, your obedient servant,
"THOMAS HAIGH,

"Messrs. MILNE a and SON."
In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milner's Safes have been exposed to—every description
of Safe in use—Fire-proof (~o called) or otherwise, have been
burnt out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the
scientific and practical authorities who have tested .them ; and
the Patentees, during seven years' active working Of their pa-
tent, on a rapidiy extending scale, have spared DC/pains or cost
in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to pledge
themselves at all times to supply the most complete and secure
dtpositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables, including
the strongest Wrought-Iron Safes, Closets, and Doors in the
world, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Chambers.
Out of upwards of 20,000 of their Safes in use amongst the
Manufacturing and Commercial Houses in Great Britain—the
class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of se-
vere trialin accidental Fires have occurred, from which Thomas
Milner and Son select the following as instances, in which they
are of opinion that no other Safe than their own would have
preserved its contents uuburnt
:
Fire at Mr. J. B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a strong and fierce Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of a large Iron Safe and Drawers,
standing beside 141ilner's ; the contents of :Shiners' uninjured,
and in use now.

Fire atlifessis. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong
Fire; again the contents of Milner's Safe the only thing saved
on the premises.
Fire at Plinisaul Brothers, of Plymouth; a very extensive
and destructive Fire; a large Iron Safe, covered with Brick-
work, with double iron doors, burnt out; Milner's entirely
preserving its contents.

Fire in tlueen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and
Closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. a- d Thomas Brown's, in Milner's Safe,
MILNEn's FIRE-RESISTING SAFES, CHESTS, and BOXES,
suitable for all classes of Buildings, Impregnable Locks and
Cash Boxes, at the Works, 50A and 54, Lord-street, and 47
to 57, Cable-street, Liverpool, and London Depot, 47A.
