Invented expr ssly, and used exclusively, for Tann's Safes, &c.
Warranted Proof against Fire and Robbery.

THE WORKMANSHIP AND INTERIOR FITTINGS ARE OF A
SUPERIOR DESCRIPTION, AND THE PRICES MODERATE.
THE principle on which these Safes are rendered
I Fire-resisting is that of liquefaction; the composition is
the most durable; and the principle the most scientific of any
yet developed; and has met with the approval of the leading
Chemists of the day. They have been repeatedly tested, and in
every instance have been proved to be impervious to Fire.
The most recent test was made on the 13th June, 1850, in the
Islington 01(1 Market, in the presence of the Mayor and
numbers of Gentlemen of the Professional and Commercial
classes of Liverpeol. The Chest, containing papers, a
Bank Note, a .e 5 Bank Note, and a Silver Watch, a Parchment
Deed, with four seals attached, after having been exposed to a
severe fire, consisting of 40 cwt. of coal and other combus-
tibles for three hours, was removed and opened ; the whole of
the contents were found perfect, the Watch indicating the
exact time. A second trial, for an hour, took place, and with
the same result. A Gold Watch (deposited by a Gentleman, a
casual visitor) and several other articles of value were restored
to their respective owners as perfect as before the test, and the
Parchment Deed, with the four seals, was quite perfect, the
impression of the wax being as perfect as when first deposited
in the Chest. The foregoing facts are testified by the signatures
of upwards of Seventy Witnesses.

MILNER'S SAFES (?)

(From the Morning Chronicle, of Sept.2.s, The Times, of
Sept. 26, and Daily News, Sept. 27, 1850.)
THE FIRE IN SEETHING-LANE. W. M. SMITH'S
WAREHOUSE.
Mr. W. M. SMITH regrets to inform his friends and the
public that his WAREHOUSE BOOKS were DESTROYED in THE
FIRE, on the 19th instant. The books were deposited in one
Of MILNER'S PATENT SAFES; it was crushed and burst open
by the falling of the building upon it. Mr. Smith will esteem it
a great favour if those parties who had housed goods at Seething-
lane will oblige him by lodging any accounts, weight-notes,
&c., which they have received from him, at his Cross-lane
Warehouse, for a few days, to assist him (in connexion with
his stock lists) in replacing the books. Mr. Smith will feel
happy to render any assistance in his power in giving infor-
mation to any persons requiring it.

TANN ' S SAFES
being made of STRONG WROUGHT IRON, afford effectual re-
sistance to the falling of timber, brickwork, &c., in case of
fire, and are equally secure against the attacks of the most
skilful and determined burelar. Safes made of thin SHEET
IRON, and not framed together, cannot in any way be FIRE-
PROOF, and are next to useless.
