SECURITY AGAINST FIRE TO BOOKS AND
DOCUMENTS,
MOST VALUABLE, BUT UNINSURABLE.

SEVENTH recent practical service of MILNERS'
FIRE-RESISTING SAFES.—Fire Resisting by
self-contained and self-acting evaporation, which must
always precede and prevent Fire.
This is the second case in which everything in the Pre-
mises, excepting what Milners' Safe preserved, was con-
sumed.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, ETC.
" the complete burning of ,the whole of our

premises on ivionoay last, the only things saved out 0_
)sart9
stock and property were our B oks, which we feel tba
we owe entirely to MILNERS' RE-RESISTING SAFE, in
which we kept them. The fe bears evidence of the

intense fire it had resisted nd it was with as much sur-
prise as gratitude that,' breaking it open after the fire,
we found instead of les as we expected, our Books
perfect as we left t m. We think it due to this invalua-
ble inventian, and to the public, to make this declaration
through your columns,

' Messrs. MILNER and SON,

" Gentlemen,—l was present during the whole time of
e fire at Messrs. Garniss's, on Monday nkht, and con-
sider it was one of the hottest fires of the kind I ever wit-
nessed, especially in the shop, where your Safe was.

" Gentlemen, your obedient. Servant,
" WM. LEVERATT, Superintendent of Police."

The Liverpool Mercury remarks, after describing the
fire :—" The Books belonging to the establishment, which
were in one of Milners' Fire-resisting Safes, were the only
articles preserved."

" Birkenhead, June 2. 1845.

" Dear Sir,—We have much pleasure in bearing unqua-
lified testimony to the efficiency and important advanta-
ges of MILNER'S FIRE-RESISTING SAFES and BOXES,
in eases of accident from Fire.

" After the destructive Fire at our Offices this morning,
the Books and Papers deposited in the AIILNER's SAFE
puichased from you, were found to be entirely uninjured
by Fire, whilst those contained in a strong Iron Safe and
Drawers, standing beside it, were completely destroyed.
" We will accordingly thank you to supply us with
another SAFE of the same size (No. 4) and description
immediately.

" Sir, your obedient Servants,
" J. and W. WALKER

" Afr. JAMES LAW, Stationer, Birkenhead."

The Liverpool papers, in reporting the fire, state, " The
building in which the tire commenced was completely
gutted, and the whole of the contents destroyed, with the
exception or the Books, those being preserved in one of
MILNERS' PATENT SAFES. Messrs. Walker have sus-
tained a very serious loss, by the destruction of a number
of plans and specifications of buildings, some erected and
others in cour=e of erection, which it is almost impossible
to estimate. These were consumed in a strong Iron Safe,
standing beside MILNERS' SAFE."
