FIRE AT BIRKENHEAD

. ....
THOMAS MILNER and SON feel gratified in hay-
ing to c. mcounicate the follow.nr testimonial given
to their Agent, Mr. Law, of Birkenhead, the more so
from this being the fifth instance, within a short period,
of parties being indebted to their manufactures for their
Books being saved from destruction. The fire at Messrs.
Walkers' (the extensive Builders) was of most intense
character, the offices being completely gutted, and it is
obvious that MILNER'S SAVE bad bad—tbe worst of it
from the circumstance of the brj.rwhi:tb of the door being
melted, whilst those of the„Win Safe were not, although
every thing in the Iron Safe-and Drawers was reduced to
black tinder.
T. M. and S. would earnestly suggest to every one whe
has a Set of Books or Documents of value, to see this
place, inquire irta the circumstances, and think and act
accordingly.

Birkenhead, Tune 2, 1845.

DEAR SIR,---We have much pleasure in bearing unqua-
lified t>s•imony to the efficiency and important advanta-
ges of MILNER'S FIRE-RESISTING SAFES and BOXES,

After the destructive tire at our Offices this morning,
the Books and Papers deposited in the MlLNEtt's SAFE
purchased from you, wet e found to be entirely uninjured
by Fire. wh;lst those contained in a strong Iron Safe and
Drawers standing beside it, were completely destroyed.

We will sccordingly thank you to supply us with
another SAFE of the same size (No. 4) and description
