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,
I nine large Houses had their Books bArned in Iron Safes,
p/i
Closets with Iron Doors, Wrought Ir Fireproof ?) Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and again on the abov ecent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffered th ame calamity. The only
Safe which brought its contents injured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded to ow.
" 1 anchester, August 13th, 1847.
" GENTLEMEN In tli ate Fire in Market-street, which
entirely gutted the entir lock of buildings of which my Ware-
house formed part, I ave sincere pleasure in informing you
that my books, to.. her with a quantity of valuable papers,
watches, &c., we e preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the public.
" 1 am your obedient servant,
4 THOMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant,
" New Brown-street and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and Son."

The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents
inside unsinged, being. steamed (boiled instead of burned) by
the evaporating principle of the Safe. Near to it a large
Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) chambered Safe, full of valuable
Books and Documents before the Fire, was 'found to contain
nothing but tinder and ashes after it
In the 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 uneaualled 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 theirvalue—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 strong and fierc Fire; Ss le most
severely burnt outside; contents unsinged.
hre at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large Iron Sate an... 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
en 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 burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Browns', in Milners
Safe.
Milners' 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-
ooni, 15, South John-street, Liverpool.
