TRON STEEL, and every kind of Hard ■- waie oi sale by McKELVY, NEAL & Co HERRING'S The only Safe which, in every instance, preserved the entire contents at the late Extensive Fires. AT THE BURNING OF THE ARTIZAN BUILDJNGS, April 10th, and in the gieat Jlre in Market Street, May Ist, 1856, the gen uine HERRING SANE preserved the Jewelry of George W. Simms & Bro.; Books, Papers &c. of Fisher & Bro. and Edward Sprnans & Co., aflar remaining exposed in the burning ruins for nearly Foriy Hours, and proving conclu sively what e have always claimed for them, their great superiority over all securi ties known. In these fires, ihe HERRING'S SAFE, Islanding atde by side with th'ose advertised as "warranted instant) 10 per cent, more fire than Herring's," came forth the acknowledg etl victor, not only preserving their contents in excellent order, but being themselves in a condition to go through another ordeal, while ihe boasted "Salamanders" of other makers were badly used up in every instance, and in some rases their entire contents completely | destroyed. To the public we would simply say, that, I during ihe fourteen years of the Herring's | Sale has been before them, more than two hundred have passed through accidental fires without the occurrence of a single loss. We would, therefore, caution purchasers against tho misrepresentation of interested parlies. The Herring's Patent is the only I Fire-proof Safe made in this city which is' projected bv a Pstent Right, and we will' guarantee it to resist more than double the amount of heat of sny other Safe now known.
