DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN GLASGOW, MAN-
CHESTER, LINCOLN'S-INN, &c.

MILNER'S " HoLDFAST " and FIRE-RESIST-
ING SAFES are the strongest, best, and cheapest safe-
guards in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud; 20,000 of
them keep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical men of
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their supe-
riority to any other others. Five of them have brought their
contents unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in Glasgow
alone this year, wherein scores of other safes have been burnt
out. Twenty-five offices were burnt out in Lincoln's Inn in
January, in one alone of which the title-deeds of thirty large
landed estates were burnt, which would all have been preserved
in Milner's Safes. From some hundreds of certificates, the
following is selected, as one out of many instanees in which
everything was consumed in the buildings excepting what
Milner's Safe contained :

"Clyde-street, Anderston, Glasgow, May 7, 1849.
"Gentlemen,—At the calamitous fire yesterday morning, by
which our premises, and stock of oil, tallow, &c., were totally
destroyed, our books were preserved in the Milner's Fireproof
Safe, purchased from you. We have gi eat pleasure in thus
bearing testimony to the great efficiency of these Safes.
"CHARLES BOYD and Co.
"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 papers which we had 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,
‘‘ KER, DOERINO, and Co.
" Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, Liverpool."
The outside of the above Safe was completely burnt through.
"Triumphant Resistance to Robbers."
" Gentlemen,—Our Milner's Safe was attempted to be broken
open last night; but notwithstanding the great and persevering
violence with which the robbers have worked at the door and
back of the safe both of which are beaten in and cut through
the outer plates in numerous places,) the lock .and bolts re-
mained true, and saved the contents. You may send us another
Milner's Holdfast Safe, No. 6.
"Glasgow, Dec. 21, 1848. JAs. RICHARDSON and Co."
" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
"Gentlemen,—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.
"1 am, your obedient servant,
"THOMAS HAIGH,
" Woollen Merchant, New Brown-street and Market-street.
"Messrs. MILNER and SON." _

In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milner's Safes have been exposed to—every description
of Safe in me—Fire-proof (so 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 rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains or coat
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,
standing beside Milner's ; the contents of Million's' 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 Sides and
Closets- burnt out; no books save throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. 8.. and Thomas Brown's, in Milner'S Safe.
