DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HARPENDEN

Harpenden, June 16th, 1854.

Gentlemen,—l have great pleastire in adding my 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,
ana, owing to the great scarcity of water, the whole of my
premises and stock were consumed. The safe I purchased is
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 position 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.

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO BROVV-UP MILNERS
" HOLDFAST" SAFE, AT BRISTOL.
Bridge-parade, Bristol, August stht 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, its
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 suppplied with picklocks, crowbars, &c., which are
now in possession of the police, but the safe was too strong
for all their efforts. We have much pleasure in bearing tes-
timony to the immense strength and security of Milners
Holdfast Safe, of which we have had suchconvincing proof.—
We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants,
