MILNER'S " lIOLDFAST" 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 men of
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know_their superi-

ority to any others. Five of them have byought their contents
unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in Glasgow alone this
year, wherein scores of other safes have been burnt out.
Twenty-five offices were burnt out in Lincoln's-inn in January,
in one alone of which the title-deeds of thirty large landed
estates were burnt, which would all have been preserved in
Milner's Safes. From some hundreds of certificates, the fol-
lowing is selected, as one out of many in ances in which
everything was consumed in the buil ' i,s excepting what
Milner's Safe contained:—

for several hours at the late fire in Gordon-street, on Thursday
last, were wholly preserved—the property saved being of ex-

in communicating this fact, deeming your Safes invaluable as
a protection against tire, and an invention with which the pub-
lic cannot be too well acquainted.—We are. gentlemen, your
