GREAT FIRE
IN , MARKET-STREET MANCHESTER ;
____
____ .

ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE-
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.
IN the last great Fire in' George-street, Manchester,
nine large Houses had' their Books burned in Iron Safes,
Closets with Iron Doors, Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and again on the above recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffered the same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded to below.
" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
" GENTLEMEN In the late Fire in Market-street, which
entirely gutted the entire block of buildings of which my Ware-
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 t iblic.
I am your obedient servant,
" THOMAS HAIGH, Wopi en Merchant,
" New Brown-stoett and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and Son."
The outside of this Safe wa- artially melted: the contents
inside unsinged, being. stea d (boiled instead of burned) by
the evaporating principl i f the Safe. Near to it a large
Wrought Iron Fireproi ?) chambered Safe, full of valuable
Books and Documentsobefore the Fire, was found to contain
nothing but tinder add ashes after it I
In tne numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milners' 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 • in-
cluding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors
in the World. lined with their uneoualled Fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Out of upwards of 20.000 of their Sates in use amongst
the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain—
the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
exposure to accidental fire have occurred, from which Thomas
Milner and Son select the following 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. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a at! ong and fierc Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside • contents unsinged.
Ire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead ; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large Iron Safe and drawers,
standing besides Milners'; the contents of Milners' uninjured,
and in use now.

Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong
fire ; again the contents of Milners' Safe the only thing saved
on the premises.

Fire at Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth; a very extensive
and destructive fire; a large Iron Safe covered with brickwork
with double Iron doors burnt out; Milners' entirely preserving
its contents.

Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and
Closets barnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Browns', in inners
Safe.

Fire-resisting Safes, Chests, and Boxes, suitable for
all classes of Buildings, impregnable Locks and Cash Boxes,
at the Works, 50A, Lord-street and Cable-street, and Show-
Wow,. 15, South John-street, Liverpool.
