HYAM'S

READY-MADE CLOTHING

ESTABLISHMENT,

LORD-STREET.

T HE P A N I C,
Despite of all warnings,
The storm thickens fast;
Insolvencies now _
Are alarmingly vast;
The nation should rise
With a force that enthrals,
And stop throughout Britain
Those ruinous "calls!"
Now, lobk at Hyam's,"
Their "calls" are so slight,
The public don't feel them,
They're really so light!
Their prices for clothing,
So charming and good,
The test of approval
From thousands have stood!
At "Lord-street" call,
There is plenty of scope
To save cent. per cent.,
So brighten your hopes !

THE Public of Liverpool and the surrounding dis-
tries should avail themselves of the first opportunity of
inspecting this costly and monster stock of clothing, &c. To
attempt to enter into any description of the multiplicity of
garments here concentrated in one Establishment would be
perfectly impracticable; in fact, it would take up too much
space, and occupy too much of the time of our friends. Under
those circumstances the Proprietors of the Pantechnetheca
must simply content themselves 'with stating, that everything
can now be obtained in the shape of Clothing, Hats, Caps, and
Hosiery, thereby not only saving the inconvenience and trouble
of going from place to place, but, likewise, they are offered at
terms so exceedingly moderate that the parties patronizing
this emporium of usefulness must feel a degree of satisfaction
commensurated with an Establishment designed to meet the
wants and the wishes of an increasing population such as
Lancashire.

of purchasing HYAM'S CHEAP AND FASHIONABLE READY-
MADE CLOTHING they pat the following Questions and

GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;
ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE-
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.
IN the last great Fire in George-street, Manchester,
nine large Houses had their Books burned in Iron Safes,
Closets with Iron Doors, Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and again on the above recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffered the same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded to below.
" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
" GENTLEMEN,—In the late Fire in Market-street, which
entirely gutted the entire 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, Woollen Merchant,
" New Brown-street and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and Son."

The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents
inside unsinged, being steamed (boiled instead of burned) by
the evaporating principle of the Safe. Near to it a large
Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) chambered Safe, full of valuable
Books and Documents before the Fire, was found to contain
nothing but tinder and ashes after it !
In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milners' Safes have been exposed to—every description
of Safe in use—Fireproof (so called) or othenvise 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
patent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains nor
cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to
pledge themselves at all times to supply the most compiete and
secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables ' • in-
cluding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, ancf-Doors
in the World, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Out of upwards of 20.000 of their Safes in use amongst
the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain—
the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
exposure to accidental fire 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. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a strong and fierce Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside; contents unsinged.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large Iron Safe and drawers,
standing besides Milners'; 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 Milners' 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 brickwork
with double Iron doors burnt out; Milners' entirely preserving
its contents.
