GREAT FIRE

THE
GUTTA PERCHAAT
COMPANY'S WORKS,
AND DEFEATED BURGLARIES.
THOMAS MILNER and SON have sincere plea-
sure in communicating to their Friends and the Public
the following new endorsements to the claims of their HOLD-
FAST and FIRE-RESISTING SAFES. The Fire at the Gutta
Percha Company's Works was of the most intense character,
as may well be conceived from the nature of its food, Gutta
Percha, Oil, Naptha, reducing the buildings to a pile of gutted
red-hot walls. The Safe has been most severely tried, as the
letter testifies, and brought its contents out of the Furnace
without a singe upon them.

" Gutta Percha Company's Works,
" City-road, London, Bth June, 1853.
" SIRS,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of the
entire preservation:of all the.books and papers* contained in
the large safe you recently supplied us with, although exposed
during Sunday last to a fire which destroyed the larger part of
our works. This is the more remarkable, as the intense heat
has in many parts melted the outside of the safe.
" We are of opinion that so successful a vindication of the
merits of your invention cannot, on public grounds, be too
generally known ; and we therefore leave you at liberty to use
this letter in any way you may wish.
"We are, Sirs, your obedient servants,
"THE GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY.
" HENRY FORD BARCLAY.
"To Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son,
47A, Moorgate-street, City, London."
* Including £5,000 worth of Cash and Bills.

“Scotland-road Mills, Liverpool, Bth June, 1853.
"GENTLENIEN,—Some time back I was indebted to your
strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe for the protection of a
large amount of cash, against the violent and persevering
attempts of bsrglars at my steam-mills, in Woodstock-street,
and I have now the pleasure of informing you that I have
lately found the same impregnable security in the one I had
last from you for my provision warehouse in Brownlow-hill.
The floor was all trodden over around the safe, as if the thieves
had been at it for many hours, after which they got it out into
the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open,
they then filled the key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain
admission by explosion i but in which they were again foiled.
"I feel it due to your invaluable safeguards to give you this
testimonial, and shall strongly recommend them to all my
friends. Please send me another of the same size for my house.
am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,
THOMAS LEICESTER.
"Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son.”
