tuard in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud ; 20,009 of

Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their supert
ority to any others. Five of them have brought their contents

unscathed but of the ruins of large fires i lona this
year, wherein scores of other saf ave been burnt out.

Milner's Safes

" 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 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 milted off.

" Glasgow, 10th February, 1649.
"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, •n Thursday
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 cannot be too well acquainted.—We are, gentlemen, your
obedient servants, " KER., DOERING, and CC."
The outside of the above Safe was completely burnt through.

" Gentlemen,—Our Milnei 's Safe was attempted to be bro-
ken open last night; but, notwithstanding the great and per-
severing violence with which the robbers have worked at tho
door and back of the Safe (both of which are 'eaten in ana cut
through the •uter plates in numerous places), the lock and
belts remained true, and saved the contents. You may send
u another Milner's Holdfast Safe, No. 6.

" Gentlemen,—ln the IMe fire in Mar Let-street, which en-
tirely gutted the whole block of buildings of which my war.-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you
that my books, together with a quantity of valuable papers,

In the numerous accidental fires and experimental testa
which Milner's Safes have been exposed to, every description
of sale in use—fireproof (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
patent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains nor
Cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to
pledge themselves at all times to supply the most complete
and secure depositories far books, documents, and valuables;
including the strongest wrought-iron safes and closets in the
world, lined with their unequalled fire-resisting chambers.
