AT THFI BURNING OF THE ARTIZAN BUILpJNGS, April lOlh,and in the gieat fire in Market Street, May Ist, 1456, the gen uine HEARING SAFE preserved the Jewelry of George \V. Simms & Bro.; Books, l'apers &c. of Fisher & Bro. and Edward Semana & Co., after remaining exposed in the burning ruins for nearly Forty Hours, and proving conclu sively what we have always claimed for them, their great supeiicrity over all securi •.iedkhown. In these fires, the HERRING'S SAFE, standing side by side with those advertised as "warranted to stand 10 per cent, more fire than Herring's," came forth the acknowledg ed victor, not only preserving their contents in excellent order, but being themselves in a condition to go through another ordeal, while the bcasteJ "Salamanders" of other makers were badly used up in every instance, and in somernsestlieir entire contents completely destroyed. To the public we would simply say, that, during the fourteen years of the Herring's Safe has been before them, more than two hundred have passed through accidental fires without the occurrence of u single locs. We would, therefore, caution purchasers against the misrepresentation of interested parlies. The Herring's Patent is the only Fire-proof Safe made in this city which is protected by a Patent Right, nod we will guarantee it lt> resist more than double the amount of heat of any other Safe now known FA 111; ELS & HERRING, Sole Manufacturer- in this State of "Herring's Patent Champion Xafes." 34 Walnut St., Philad'a.
