DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN GLASGOW, MAN-
CHESTER, LINCOLN'S-INN, &c.

MILNER'S " lIOLDFAST" and FIRE
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 brought 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 instances in which
everything was consumed in the buildings excepting what
Milner's Safe contained :
" " Clyde-street, Anderston, Glasgow, May 7, 1849.
Gentlemen,—At the calamitous fire•yesterday morning, by
which our premises, and stock o , tallow, &c., were totally
destroyed, oir books were pr rued in the Milner's Fireproof
Safe, purchased from yo We have great pleasure in thus
bearing testimony to t great efficiency of these Safes.
" CALES BOYD and CO."
This Safe wa ost severely testeH the the brass knob and brass
work about ock were melted off.

-RESIST-

" 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 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 CO."
The outside 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 to be bro-
ken open last 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 beaten in and cut
through the outer plates in numerous places), the lock and
bolts remained true, and saved the contents. You may send
us another Milner's Huldfast Safe, No. 6.
JAS. RICHARDSON and CO.
" Glasgow, 28th December, 1848."
" Manchester, August Ith, 1847.
" Gentlemen,—ln the late fire in Market-street,3 which en-
tirely gutted the whole block of buildings of which my warts-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you
that my books, together with a quantity of valuable papers,
watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
am, your obedient
resisting Safes. whservant,ich I strongly recommend to the pubic.—l

THOMAS AI, "'Woollen Merchant," New Brown-sHtreetG,H and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and Son."
In the numerous accidental fires and experimental tests
which Milnet'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 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 for books, documents, and valuables;
including the strongest wrought-iron safes anti closets in the
world, lined with their unequalled fire-resisting chambers.
Out 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

which they are of opinion that no other safe than their own
would have preserved its contents unburnt :
Fire at Mr. J. B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Sperling-

burnt outside; contents unsinged.
