GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;
ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WAR'
- HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.

N the last great fire in George-street, Manchester,
I 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, Artfinest 13th, 1847.
Gaxmamim,—ln the late Fire in Market-street, which

house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you
that my books, together with a quantity
preservedof valuable papers,
9-- , were uninjuredin one of your Fire-
end to the public.

" I am your obedienfiervant,
"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 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
patent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains nor
cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to
themselves at all times to supply th'

wedge -,,. ne most complete and
secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables ; in-
chiding the strangest Wrouy,ht-iron 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 Mannfactunng and Commercial Houses of Great Britain—
