CHEAPNESS

AND QUALITY

Cheapness is not always cheapness,
If you have not the goodness too ;
Time, the greatest of revealers,
Separates the false from true ;
He who deals in base deception
Cannot blind the public eyes ;
Cheapness cannot be called cheapnes
Without quality likewise.

Many years have tested H t,
And have made him erstood ;
When he advertises apness,
He means the s well as good ;
Wondrous ch ness in his prices,
Wondro eauty to the eyes,
Cut off ion, strength of texture,
Cheap and durable likewise.

llvAm's well-known reputation
Is the passport to each home ;
Those who patronise his dealings
Never will to others roam ;
Every vestige of apparel,
For all shapes and every size,
He'll supply you in a moment,
Lasting, new, and cheap likewise.

EXTRAORDINARY and SUCCESSFUL RESIST-
ANCE to ROBBERS of MILNER'S "HOLDFAST"
and FIRE RESISTING SAFE.

THE STRONGEST SAFEGUARD EXTANT AGAINST
ROBBERY AND FIRE.

Early last year, Messrs. Win. Watson and Co., (late Watson
Brothers,) applied to Thos. Milner and Son/to construct for
them one of their strong Holdfast Safes or Chests, to contain
10,000 dol'ars in silver, for its safe conveyance over the moun-
tains from the mines to Tampico. Thy Gentleman writing for
the Safe was at the time lying co tined to his bed from a
bullet and two bayonet wounds h ad received in an attack of
the Mexican robbers on a vale e convoy, in which the Safe
he then used was broken u ) d plundered of a large amount
of specie. The Safe and agon constructed for it were ex-
hibited at our works, a to several Liverpool houses, and met
with great approval m several of our engineers and prac-
tical men, and d tless will be in the recollection of the
Public, and we have great pleasure in announcing that we have
received the following polite and unsolicited note from Mr.
Watson, who has since given us permission to publish it.
"Derby Buildings, 20th September, 1850.
"Mr. 17V.TSON presents his compliments to Mr. MILNER,
and has to communicate to him the following extract of a letter,
dated the 11th ultimo. from his partner, at Tampico :
"The Iron Waggon and Safe, (ex Josephine,) with Sixty Bars
of Silver, was attacked by Forty-five Robbers, between Catore
and San Luis Potosi, and they worked twelve hours to open the
Chest, and did not succeed; meantime assistance came from
San Luis Potosi.
"This is very satisfactory, and does you credit, and will, no
doubt, lead to further orders."

The whole of the outside of this Safe was half-inch wrought-
iron, proof against sledge-hammers, chisels, or any other vio-
lence, and well it did its duty. We have at this time a number
of large Banker's and Merchant's Safes in course of construc-
tion—one for a Diamond Merchant in London—of which we
invite the attention of the Public. Our Works are the most
extensive and complete of their class in the world, employing
more experienced Workmen (upwards of 100, assisted by the
most approved and powerful machinery) than all the Safe-
makers in England together—a Lancashire Workshop well
worth looking over. Its whole operations—from the cutting
up and working of the Wrought-iron Plates and Bars, from the
thickness of a half-crown to that of its diameter, to the
building up of these superb and massive Safes—the filling of
their chambers with the Fire-resisting materials—the arrange-
ment of their powerful Hinges, Bolts, and impregnable Locks
—altogether are well worthy of the study of the Mechanic and
the Man of Science.
