DANIEL MYERS, TROWSERS MAKER, TAILOR,
AND GENTLEMEN'S OUTFITTER, respectfully informs
his Friends and the Public that the Stock of his Establishment
is constantly supplied with first-rate Materials, and the newest
Designs. The system which has gained for D. MYERS so much
applause, viz., that of manufacturing the best Garments and
charging the very lowest prices possible, is still and will ever
be strictly adhered to by him. D. M. being determined that
the unfair principle of making those who pay their accounts,
do so for those who do not, has never and shall never be adopted
at his Establishment.

superior West of England Cloths. it will readily be perceived
that the above great advantage and saving of 30 per cent. is a

in Style, Fit, and Workmanship, to any that can be produced.
The Reports of Fashion are constantly being received, and his
Foremen are made acquainted with every Novelty and Im-
provement.
The fit of the Trowsers made at this Establishment is now
pretty generally known both in England and America ; to this
very essential part of Gentlemen's Dress, D. M. has ever given
his particular attention, and has now engaged an experienced
Foreman whose time is devoted wholly to this department, and
the Trowsers that are made at this Establishment cannot be
surpassed, if equalled, in Liverpool. The prices, as annexed,
are at least 30 per cent. less than any other respectable Esta-
blishment :

GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;

ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE-
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.
TN the. lnet-great Fire in George-street, ii....l.emt-cr,
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 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 tne 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
pledge themselves at all times to supply the most complete and
secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables • in-
cluding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors
in the World. lined with their uneaualled fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Out of upwards of 20,000 of their Sates 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 fierc Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside • contents unsinged.

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. . _

Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and
Closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting hlessrs. S. R. and Thomas Browns', in Miners
