CHUBB'S PATENT FIREPROOF 'WROUGHT-

IRON SAFES, CHESTS, BOXES, & DOORS

THESE Depositories afford complete security to
valuable Property from Depredation or Fire.
They are made In the best manner, and being entirely of
Wrought-iron, combined with effective and well-proved non-
conductors of heat, and secured by CH uns's Patent Detector
Locks, will resist Intense Heat, the falling of timbers and
brickwork in case of Fire, or the skill and force of the most
determined burglar. Their Fireproof qualities are well known,
and have been subjected to frequent severe tests.
No instance has been found where they have been in Fires in
which the contents were injured. Mr. Braidwood, Superinten-
dent of the London Fire Brigade, stated, a few months since,
in a discussion before the " Institution of civil Engineers,"
that in every Fire in which he had found Sates of Chubb':
manufacture, the Books and Papers were Preserved, and that
in nearly all cases where others-Were used their contents were
destroyed. No better testiniottial •f their safety can be required
than the many thousands which have been in use in various
parts of the world _for several years and have given complete
satisfaction.

--diUBB'S PATENT DETECTOR LOCKS are made for
every purpose to which a Lock can be applied. They afford
perfect security, and are extremely simple and durable. They
have been characterised by the Comptroller of her Majesty's
Stationery Office, J. R. M'Culloch, Esq., as " the best Locks
made," as will be seen by the following extract from the evi-
dence taken before a recent Select Committee of the House of
Commons :—" It is allowed by everybody who knows anything
about the matter, that Chubb's Locks are the best Locks made
now." They are consequently now used in all the Government
Offices. .

CHUBB'S PATENT BAR LOCKS form a simple means of
securing the Doors of Warehouses, &c., as they possess great
strength.
CHUBB'S PATENT LATCHES, for Street Doors, Count-
ing• houses, &c., are perfectly secure against any attempts to
open them by means of false keys or picklocks. The common
Latches, and those called " Patent," in general use, afford not
the slightest safety, but may even be opened by numbers of
keys dissimilar to their own, and, as an outer door in particular
should be properly secured, CHUBB'S PATENT LATCHES
are strongiy recommended as the most effectual means of
safety. They have neat and portable Keys, and are low in
price.
CHUBB'S CASHBOXES and JAPANNED DEEDBOXES
are all fitted with the Detector Locks.

LIVERPOOL DISTRICT PROVIDENT SOCIETY.
THE COMMITTEE regret that the depressed state
of the Funds of the Society obliges them to make an im-
mediate and earnest appeal to the Public on its behalf. The
income of the Society. derived from Annual Subscriptions,
falls far short of what is required for its efficient maintenance,
and the Committee, in making this appeal to their Fellow-
townsmen, are confident that it will be .-met with the same
liberality and promptitude which they Have invariably expe-
rienced on former oceasions.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN GLASGOW, MAN-
CHESTER, LINCOLN'S-INN, &c.
MILNER'S " HOLDFAST" and FIRE-RESIST-
ING SAFES are the strongest, best, and cheapest safe-
guards in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud ; 20,000 of
them keep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical men of
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their supe-
riority to any other others. Five of them have brought their
contents unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in Glasgow
alone this year, wherein scores of other safes have been burnt
out. Twenty-five offices were burnt out in Lincoln's Inn in
January, in one alone of which the title-deeds of thirty large
landed estates were burnt, which would asFrbeen preserved
in Milner's Safes. From some h eds of certificates, the
following is selected, as one o of many instanees in which
everything was consumed, in the buildings excepting what
Milner's Safe contained:—
"Clyde-greet, Anderston, Glas

ig,ow, May 7, 1849.

" Gentlemen,;-Ktthe calamitous fire yesterday morning, by
which our premises, and stock of oil, tallow, &c., were totally
destroyed, our books were preserved in the Milner's Fireproof
Safe, purchased from you. We have great pleasure in thus
bearing testimony to the great efficiency of these Safes.

. - -
"CHARLES BOYD and Co.
"This Safe was most severely tested, the brass knob and
brass work about the lock were melted off."

"Glasgow, 10th February, 1849.
"Gentlemen,—The books and papers which we had in your
Fire-resisting Safe, which was subjected to a most intense heat
for several hours at the late fire in Gordon-street, on Thursday
last, were wholly preserved—the property saved being of ex-
treme importance to us. We have, therefore, great pleasure is
communicating this fact, deeming your Safes invaluable as a
protection against fire, and an invention with which the public
cannot be too well acquainted.
" We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants,
"KER, DoEuiNo, and Co.
" Messrs. Thos._ Milner and Son, Liverpool,".

The outside of the above Safe was completely burnt through.
"Triumphant Resistance to Robbers."
"Gentlemen,—Our Milner's Safe was attempted to be broken
open last night ; but notwithstanding the great and persevering
violence with which the robbers have worked at the door and
back of the safe both of which are beaten in and cut through
the outer plates in numerous places,) the lock and bolts re-
mained true, and saved the contents. You may send us another

"Manchester. August 13th. 1847.

"Gentlemen,—ln the late Fire in Market-street, which enii
tirely gutted the whole 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-
esisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the public.

In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milner's Safes l'aNe been exposed to—every description
of Safe in use—Fire-proof (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 pa-
tent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains or coat
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, Closets, and Doors in the
world, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Chambers.
Out of upwards of 20,000 of their Safes in use amongst
Manufacturing and Commercial Houses in Great Britaino—the
class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases._
vere trial in accidental Fires have occurred.

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
ling-street, Liverpool; a strong an fierce Fire; safe moot
severely burnt outside.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of a large Iron Safe and Drawers,
standing beside 111ilner's ; the contents of Milners' 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 thing saved
on the premises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers, of Plymouth; a very extensive
and destructive Fire; a large Iron SAfe, covered with Brick-
work, with double iron doors, burnt out ; Milner's entirely
preserving its contents.
Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes aid
Closets burnt out •, no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Brown's, in Milner's Safe.
