DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HARPENDEN.
" Harpenden, June 16th, 1854.
" Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in adding my testi-
mony to the value of your Fireproof Safes.
" Last Monday night my house, warehouse, and premises
were unfortunately burned down. The fire raged very fear-
fully for about two hours, and, owing to the great scarcity of
water, the whole of my premises and stock were consumed.
" The Safe I purchased of you bad a most severe test, in
consequence of a barrel of brimstone standing close to it, and
melting with the heat of the ire, the burning lava running all
over and under the safe, which greatly added to the intensity
of the heat. It remained in that position about four hours,
and when with great difficulty 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
information.

"I am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,
" Wlll. WALKER,

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO BLOW-UP MILNERS'
HOLDFAST" SAFE, AT BRISTOL.
"Bridge Parade, Bristol, August sth, 1854.
" Gentlemen,—We have to inform you that last night our
premises were entered by burglars, who blew open the strong
iron door of our wall repository by means of gunpowder, in
which was placed the Milners' Patent Holdfast Safe you re-
cently supplied us with ; this they got out and attempted to
blow open in the same manner, but without success. They
were well supplied with picklocks, crowbars, &c., &c., which
are now in possession of the police, but the safe was too
strong for alt their efforts.
" We have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the im-
mense strength and security of Milners' Holdfast'Safe, of
which we have had such convincing proof.
" We are, Gentlemen, your obedient Servants.
" F. and J. AMORY.
