MEssRs EVANS AND WATSON: GENTLEMEN
The small size No. Salamander safe which
purchased from your agent, Mr.. Adam H.
Bar, in Lancaster City, on July goth, 1898,
has been subjected to very severe test,
which it withstood in a most satisfactory
manner. This Safe containing all my books
together with valuable papers belonging to
myself and some to my neighbors and friends,
and represeting value of over Twenty Ihous-
and Dollars, $50, ,0O0) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night of the 9th of Ju-
", 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unsca.hed. The Safe was onthe second f1oor
and fell to the basement of the Mill, and was
subjected for six hours to an intense heat
among the rui.ts, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of large quantity OF grain
confined within the brick walls After the
fire the safe was opened and the books and
papers taken out in state of perfect preser-
vation, the paper not even being discolored.
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
better recommendation of your SAFES than
could be expressed in any other words from
me. Yours Respectfully,
