" Gentlemen,
which our premises

At the calamitous fire yesterday Morning, by
and stock of oil, tallow, &c., were totally

Safe, purchased from you. We have great pleasure
bearing testimony to the great efficiency of these Safes

" This Safe was most severely tested, the brass knob and
brass work about the lock were melted off."
" Glasgow, 10th February, 1849.

"Gentlemen,—The books and p-apeis which we hdd in Your
Fire-resisting Safe, which was subjected to a most intense heat
for several hours at the late fire in Gordon-street, on Thursday
last, were wholly preserved.—the property saved being of ex-
treme importance to us. We have, therefore, great pleasure in
communicating this fact, deeming your Safes invaluable as a
protection against fire, and an invention with which the public
cannot be too well acquainted.
"We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants,

" Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, Liverpool."
The outside of the above Safe was completely burnt through.

"Gentlemen,—ln the late Fire in Market street, which en-
I the whole block of buildings of which my Ware-

tirely gu

house formed part, I have sincere pleaiure in inforniing you
that my books, together with a quantity of valuable papers,
watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
fes, which I strongly recommend to the public.
"I am, your obedient servant,

In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental testa
hick Milner's Safes have been

•ivery desc

of Safe in arse—Fire-proof (so callea) or otherwise, have been
burnt out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the
scientific and practice) authorities who have tested them ; and
the Patentees, during seven years' active working of their pa-
tent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains or cost
in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to pledge
themselves at all times to supply the most complete and secure
depositories 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 trial in 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 unburnt :
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,
stalding beside Milner's ; the contents of Milners' uninjured,
and in use now.
Fire at Messrs. 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 Plimsaul 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 Queen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and
Closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Brown's, in Milner's Safe.
