Triumphant Resistance to Robbers

" Gentlemen,—Our Milner's Safe was attempted to be bro-
ken open last night ' • but, notwithstanding the great and per-
severing violence with which the robbers have worked at the
door and back of the Safe (both of which are Neaten in and cut
through the outer plates in numerous places), the lock and
bolts remained true, and saved the contents. You may send
us another Milner's Holdfast Safe, No. 6.

Gentlemen,—ln the late fire in Market-street, which en-
tirely gutted the whole block of buildings of which my ware-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing yen
that my books, together with a 9uantity, of valuable papers,
watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the pubic.—l
am, your obedient servant,

"THOMAS HAIGH.

" Messrs. Milner and Son."

In the numerous accidental fires and experimental tests
which Milner's 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;
including the strongest wrought-iron safes and closets in the
world, lined with their unequalled fire-resisting chambers.
Out of upwards of 20,000 of their safes in use amongst the
manufacturing and commercial houses in Great Britain—the
clans best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
severe trial in accidental fires 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. B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Sparling-
street, Liverpool : a strong and fierce fire; safe most severely
burnt outside ; contents unsinged.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walker's, the extensive builders,
Birkenhead: buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
tibem, including the contents of large iron safe and drawers,
standing beside Milner's; the contents of Milner's uninjured,
and in use now.

Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane : a very strong
fire ; again the contents of Milner's Safe the only things saved
on the premises. _

Fire at Plimsaul Brothers, of Plymouth : a very extensive
and destructive tire; a 'amain:on safe, covered with brickwork,
with double iron doors, burnt nut; Milner's entirely preser-
ving its contents.

Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow: a great number of safes and
closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. B. It. and Thomas Brown's, in Milner's
safe.
Milner's Flre-resisting Safes. Chests, and Boxes, saitable
for all classes of buildings, Impregnable Locks and Cash BPYAIf,
at the Works, 60A and 54, Lord-street, Liverpool, and 47 to 57,
