3 Messrs. Milner and Son

"Gentlemen,—l am glad to inform you that the Safe I pur-
chased from you eight years ago, defeated the most violent
efforts of some thieves who obtained access to my premises last
night. They had cut a large hole in the outer plate, and tried
to force off the lock, or to for(

,pen the door

"jemmy" (which they left behind them,) but without success,
as we found the Cash and Books " safe" this morning. Please
send me another, the same size, of your improved make.

Note.—The Safe alluded to ove was one of our weakest and
lightest make—strong plate • on tinned,—improved upon many

NOTE.—We supplied 11Ir. Evans with the above No. 3 Hold-
fast for Oldham, and a No. 6 Holdfast, and two Chests, for
March, in January, 1848. P. R. D.
THOMAS MILNER and SON have great pleasure in publishing
the above so immediately after the following :
TO BULLION DEALERS, BANKERS, AND ALL HOLDERS
_ OF CASH, PLATE, AND VALUABLE PROPERTY.

ExtraordiTary and Successtill Resistance to Robbers

MILNERS'S "HOLDFAST" AND FIRE-RESISTING SAFE
the Strongest Safeguard against Robbery and Fire.

Early last year, Messrs. Wm. Watson and Co. (late Watson
Brothers) applied to Thos. Milner and Son to construct for them
one of their strong Holdfast Safes or Chests, to contain 10.000
collars in silver, for its safe conveyance over the mountains

from the mines to Tempico. The gentleman writing for the
Safe was at the time lying confined to his bed, from a bullet
and two bavonetwounds he had received in an attack of the
Mexican robbers on a valuable convoy, in which the Safe he
then used was broken up, and plundered of a large amount of
specie. The Safe and Waggon constructed for it were exhi-
bited at our works, and to several Liverpool houses, and met
with peat approval from several of our engineers and practical
men, and doubtless will be in the recollection of the public;
and we have great pleasure in announcing that we have re-
ceived the following polite and unsolicited note from Mr. Wat-
son, who has since given us perm ssion to publish it :
" Liverpool, perby.bluidings, 20th Sept., 1850.
•• -- •

" Mr. Watson presents his compliments lo Mr. Itlimer, and
has to communicate to him the following extract of a letter,
dated the Ilth ultimo, from his partner at Tampico:—
'
The iron wnggon ana safe (ex Josephine), with sixty bars of
silver, was attacked by forty-rocbers between Catore and San
Luis Potosi, and they worked twelve hours to open the chest,
and they did not succeed; meantime assistance came from San•
Luis Potosi.' _ _ _

'This is very satisfactory, and does you credit, and will, no
doubt, lead to further orders."'

The'whole of the outside of this safe was half inch wrought
iron, proof against sedge-hammers, chisels, or any other
violence, and well it did its duty.

We have at this time a number of large Banker's and Mer-
chant's Safes in course of coustruetion—one for a Diamond
Merchant in London—to which we invite the attention of the
Public. Our Wrrks ere the most extensive and complete of
their class in the world, employing more experienced workmen
(upwards of 100, assisted by the most approved and powerful
machinery), than all the Safemakers in England together—a
Lancashire Workshop well worth looking over. Its whole
operations—from the cutting up and working of the Wrought-
iron Plates and Bars, from the tickness of :half-a-crown to that
of its diameter, to the building up of these superb and massive
Safes—the filling of their chambers with the Fire-resisting
Materials—the arrangement of their powerful Hinges, Bolts,
and impregnable Locks—altogether are well worthy the study
of the mechanic and the man of science.
