THE WORKMANSHIP A INTERIOR FITTINGS ARE OF A

lIHE princip on which these Safes are rendered
Fire-resisting is that of liquefaction; the composition is
the most durable; and the principle the most scientific of any
yet developed ; and has met with the approval of the leading
Chemists of the day. They have been repeatedly tested, and in
every instance have been proved to be impervious toFlre.
The most recent test was made on the 13th June, 1850, in the
Islington Old Market, in the presence of the Mayor and
numbers of Gentlemen of the Professional and Commercial
classes of Liverpool. The Chest, containing papers, a £5O
Bank Note, a .e 5 Bank Note, and a Silver Watch, a Parchment
Deed, with four seals attached, after having been exposed to a
severe fire, consisting of 40 cwt. of coal and other combus-
tibles for three hours, was removed and opened; the whole of
the contents were found perfect, the Watch indicating the
exact time. A second trial, for an hour, took place, and with
the same result. A Gold Watch (deposited by a Gentleman, a
casual visitor) and several other articles of value were restored
to their respective owners as perfect as before the test, and the
Parchment Deed, with the four seals, was quite perfect, the
impression of the wax being as perfect as when first deposited
in the Chest. The foregoing facts are testified by the signatures
of upwards of S.venty Witnesses.
