DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HARPENDEN.
Harpenden, June 16th, IS; _ .

Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in adding ray testimony
to the value of your Fireproof Safes. Last Monday night my
house, warehouse, and premises were unfortunately burned
down. The fire raged very fearfully for about two hours,
and, owing to the great scarcity of water, the whole of my
premises and stork were consumed. The safe limrchasedo
you had a most severe test, in consequence of a barrel of
brimstone standing close to it, and melting with the heat o
the fire, the burning lava running all over and under the safe,
which greatly added to the Intensity of the heat. It remained
in that positron about four hours, and when with great diffi-
culty it was got out of the fire and opened, I found my books
and papers all uninjured.
You are at liberty to make what use you please of this in-
formation.—l am, gentlemen, yours respectfully,

WM. 'WALKER.
