DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN GLASGOW, MAN-
CHESTER, LINCOLN'S-INN, &c.
1%/FILNER'S " HOLDFAST" and FIRE-RESIST-
ING SAFES are the strongest, best, and cheapest safe-
guard in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud ; 20,000 of
them keep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical wen of
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, dtc., who know their superi-
ority to any others. Five of them have brought their contents
unscathed out of the ruins of large fires i litsp—Wislons this
year, wherein scores of other safe ve been burnt out.
Twenty-five offices were burnt o • Lincoln's-inn in January,
in one alone of which the t' -deeds of thirty large landed
estates were burnt, whic ould all have been eserved in
Milner's Safes. From • hundreds of certifica%s, the fol-
lowing is selected, one out of many instances in which
everything was sumed in ths buildings excepting what
Milner's Safe c tained

Clyde :street, Anderston, Glasgow, May 7,1849,

" Gentlemen,—At the 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 hays, 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 knokand 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 Tharaday
last, were wholly preserved—the property saved being of ex-
treme importance to us. We have, therefore, great pleasure
in communicating this fact, deeming your Safes invaluable as
a protection against fire, and an invention with which the pub-
lic cermet be too well acquainted.—We are. gentlemen, your
obedient servants, " KER, DOERING, and CO."
The cutaide of the above Safe was completely burnt through.
Triumphant Resistance to Robbers :

" Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, Liverpool.
" Gentlemen,—Our Milner's Safe was attempted ttt be bro-
ken open Mat 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 ant cut
lie outer plates in numerous places), the lock and
tined true, and saved the contents. You may send
lid another Milner's Holdfast Safe, No. 6.
" JAS. RICHARDSON aid CO.
" Glasgow, 28th December, 1848."
" Manchester, August IStit, 1347.

" Gentlemen,—ln the late fire in Market-street, wilicii•a-
tirely gutted the whole block of buildings of which my wary-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasurein informing yea
that my hooks, together with a quantity of valuable papers,
watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Firs
resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the pubic.—l
am, your obedient servant,
" THomAs HAIGH,
" Woollen Merchant, New Brown-street, and Market-street.
" 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 hats tested them ; and
the Patentees, during seven years' active working of their
patent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pails tier
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.
Oat of upwards of 20,000 of their safes in use amongst the
manufacturing and commercial houses in Great Britain—the
class 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, is
which they are of opinion that no other safe than their own
'mid have preserved its contests unburnt

!12" MILNER'S FIREFAMER ! 212'
MILNER'S PATENT FIRE-RESISTING PRINCIPLE,
COMBINING NON-CONDUCTION & EVAPORATION.
" FAMILIAR AS HOUSEHOLD WORDS."
To every mind in Liverpool, Manchester, Lancashire.

TN confirmation of the several legal opinions before
obtained, pronouncing the plan specified and advertised as
TA N N'S, as an impudent, reckless, and warrantable infringe-
ment of Milner's Patent, we ha ust received that of the
highest authority in patent s, of which the following are
extracts :

" I see no rensoAtf&Mt the validity of SI LN Eit's Patent
IN ITS ENTIRETY am of opinion that the invention as to
Safes, described in TA NN's specification, is an infringement of
NIILNER'S Patent.

"THOMAS WEBSTER, Temple
"June 25th, 1851)."

In addition to the caution appended at foot, and as a measure
of self-prolection, to enable us to recover our costs, we respect-
fully announce that we shall proceed in Chancery against
every Seller, Buyer, or User of these illegal articles.
After nearly half a century of earnest pursuit of our one
buliness, and successive improvements of our Manufactures—
employing more experienced Workmen (aided by the best
Machinery) than all the other Safemakers in England put toge-
ther—we are in a position to produce the cheapest and best
Safes in the world as regards strength and workmanship ; and
our Patent Rights enable us exclusively to supply the only
FIRE-RESISTING CHAMBERS that will effectually fulfil
their duty. We ask of the Liverpool public to come and see
Our Works, (always open to them,) and judge for themselves.
