ority to any others. Five of them have brought tl ontents
unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in G ~ow alone this
year, wherein scores of other safes ha een burnt out.
Twenty-five offices were burnt out in I ' coin's-inn in January,
in one-alone of which the title-de of thirty large landed
estates were burnt, which woul all have been preserved in
Milner's Safes. From some h dreds of certificates, the fol-
lowing is selected, as one tof many instances in which
everything was consum in the buildings excepting what
Milner's Safe containe

" Clyla-sfreet, kritirstori, Glasgow, May 7, 1849.

" Gentlemen, At the calamitous fire yesterday morning, by
which our premises, and stock of oil, tallow, Ex., were totally
destroyed, our books were preserved in the Miln er'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 melted off.
" 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-
I;,- ness,•••••+ hat tnn well _

obedient servants, " KER, DOER6'G, 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 Holdfast Safe, No. 6.
" JAS. RICHARDSON and CO.
" Glasgow, 28th December, 1848."
" Manchester, August I3th, 1847.

" gentlemen,—ln the late fire in Market-street, which en-
tirely gutted the whole block of of Which my warp-
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-
resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the pubic.—l
am, your obedient servant,
"THOMAS HAIGH,
" Woollen Merchant, New Brown-street, and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and Son."
In the numerous accidental fires and experimental tests
which Milner's Safes have been exposed to, ever!, 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 and 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
cla3s best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
severe trial in accidental fires have, occurred, from which
Thomas Alilner and Son select the fallowing as instances, in
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-
street, Liverpool : a strong and fierce fire; safe most severely
burnt outside; contents unsinged.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walker's, the extensive builders.
Birkenhead : buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large iron safe and drawers,
standing beside Milner's; the contents of Milner's uninjured,
and in use now.

Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane : a very strong
fire; again the contents of Milner's Safe the only things saved
on the premises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers, of Plymouth a very extensive
and destructive tire; a large iron safe, covered with brickwork,
with double iron doors, burnt out; Milner's entirely preser-
ving its contents.
Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow a great number of safes and
closets burnt out ; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Brown's, in Milner's
Safe.
