TN 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. ; 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 o 1 the burning
mass being the one alluded to below.

" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
GENTLEMEN,—In the late Fire in M• irket-street, which
entirely gutted the entire block of buildings of which my Ware-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasurt kieitinforming you
that my books, together with a quantity c aluable papers,

The outside of this Safe was partially Nltedi the contents
inside unsinged, being steamed (boiled i iitead of burned) by
the evaporating principle of the Safe. f• 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 I
In the numerons accidental Fires and experimental tests

I 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 sill ply the most complete and
secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables • in-
cluding the strongest Wrought-iroii Safes, Closets, and 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 Commerci g Houses of Great Britain—
the class best able to appreciate th eir vahie—numerous cases of
exposure to accidental fire have occurred, from which Thomas
Milner and Son select the followii Ig 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 stion g and fierc Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside • contents unsinged.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirrlv gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents a large Iron Safe and drawers,
standing besides Milners'; e contents of Milners' uninjured,
, and in use now.

Fire at Messrs. Garniss anei Co.'s, park-lane; a very strong
fire; again the contents of M liners' Safe the only thing saved
on the premises.

Fire at Plimsaul Brothers 9, of Plymouth; a ♦ery extensive
and destructive fire;' a large Iron Safe covered with brickwork
with double Iron doors burr.it out; Milners' entirely preserving
its contents.

Fire in Queen-street, Gltisgow ; a great number of Safes and
Closets burnt out; no bof
A
excepting Messrs. S. R. s saved throughout the buildings
and Thomas Browns', in Milners'
Safe.

Milners' Fire-resisting Safes, Chests, and Boxes, suitable for
all classes of Buildings, impregnable Locks and Cash Boxes,
at the Works, 50A, Lora-street and Cable-titreet, and Show.
