STATEMENT OF one TRIED IN BOSTON.
"rillS Safe (Saamander) was in blast Fur
| mace for 20 hours, during which time one hundred
and fifty bushels of Charcoal was consumed;
there were put into the furnace with it of
SCOTS Patent Asbestos Safes, and one Of G. j.
Gaylor's Double Safes, both of which were con-
! sumed In less than two hours, while the Sala-
mander Safe preserved, uninjured, the books and
papers 1t contained.
Another trial was made before the annexed
committee ofrespcctable merchants, in November
1910, at the foot of Wall street, New York, upon
one of the Salamander Safes, with one of Jesse
Deano's, G.. j. Gaylor's Patent Double, and
ScoIt's Patent Asbestos Safe.
Extract from the Committees Report.
"Ihe above fair trial, and was TO us
convincing proof ofthe superiority ofthe Salaman-
der Safe over all others; and considering that il
was exposed 10 an intense heat for period of
eight hours, while each of the others were de-
stroyed by the same heat in less than two hours.
We have no Hesitation in saying, that we consid-
er the Salanander Safe really fire proof, and af-
tording perfect security 10 books and papers in
case OF fire. We therefore take much pleasure in
making this statement to The public, and in
commencing to them Enos Wilder's Patent Sal
amander Safe, rs fully entitled to their conf
dence.

awe saw one of Wilder's Salamander Safes
yesterday taken from the ruins of the Store
;uped by ]. w. Stanton g. Co. The books and
papers 1t contained were in as perfect state of
as they would have been had thefc
not been fire within 10 squares of them. The
ordeal through which they had passed was not
slight one. The oil and candles in the store Of
Stanton s. Co., made about comfortable fire

Believing from these and other equally strong
testimonials in my possession (some of which can
be seen at Mr. Crawiord's store in Staunton) thatit
IS superior to any invention ofthe kind yet known,
and fully adeq uate to the necessities of Country
particularly, whose property, ffrom the
want of effective companies and Of the vaults Of
Bank) is rendered peculiarly liable to destruction
from FIRE, would urge upon them consider

tain the most important books and papers of a
