FIRE AT BIRKENHEAD.

THOMAS MILNER and SON feel gratified in hay-
ing to communicate the following testimonial given
to their Agent, Mr. Law, of Birkenhead, the more so
from this being the fifth instance, within a short period,
of parties being indebted to their manufactures for their
Books being saved from destruction. The fire at Messrs.
Walkers' (the extensive Builders) was of most intense
character, the offices being completely gutted, and it is
obvious that MILLER'S SAFE had had the worst of it
from the circumstance of the brass nob of the door being
melted, whilst those of the Iron Safe were not, although
every thing in the Iron Safe and Drawers was reduced to
black tinder. _ _

T. M. and S. would earnestly suggest to every one who
has a Set of Books or Documents of value, to see this
place, inquire into the circumstances, and think and act
accordingly. or"'
