FIRE PROOFS!
Till SALAMANDER SASES OP PHILADEL
PHIA AGAINST THE WORLD 1
EVANS & WATSON, No. 26 South Fourth
street, Philadelphia, have had the surest
demonstration in the following certificates
that their manufacture of . Salamander Safes
has at length fully warranted the representa
tions which have been made of them, as ren
dering an undoubted security against the ter
ific element;
HILADILTITIA, April 12, 1856.
• Mesas . EV P ANS & WATSON :—Gents—lt aft
fords us the highest satisfaction to state toyou
that owing to the very protective qualities o,
two of the Salamander Safes which we par.
chased of lOU some months since, we saved a
large portion of our jewelry, books, papers,
dm., exposed to the calamitous fire in Ran
stead Place, on the morning of the 11th
instant.
When we reflect that these Safes were loca
ted in the fourth story of the building we ooeu
pied, and that they fell sulisequently into a
heap of burning ruins, where the vast COCICE111•
trauma of heat calmed the brass plates to meet
we cannot but regard the preservation of th,
valuable contents as most convincingproof
the great security afforded by your Safes.
We shall take much pleasure in recom-
mending them to men of business as a sure re
liance against the fire.
GEO. W. SIMONS it BRO.
PRILADELPIIIA, April 12, 1856.
MESSRS. RUNS & WATSON have to offer
you my testimony in favor of the great security
afforded to ray entire stock of jewelry, books,
papers ! Ice., during the recent disastrous con
flagration in Ranstead Place, from the fact
that the same were contained in two of the Sal
amender Safes manufactured by you.
Having fallett from the fifth story of the-Ar
tisan-building,
.where they were previously
placed, and exposed to a vast heat for a long
time, the preservation of the valuable deposits
seemed to every one who witnessed the open
ing and interior examination, a matter of pro
found astonishment.
Toall who may require a perfect protection
rota the ravages of fire, I shall not hesitate to
recommend the use of your SittbiVits consid•
er they have now undergone the most trying
tait. ' N. E. MORGAN. •
PHILADELPHLt, April 12, .1856.
MESSRS EVANS dc WATSON :—.l.3entlemen
No doubt you will be deeply gratified to learn
the good condition in which I discovered my
hook, policy of insurance, certificates of stock,
and other valuable documents, when on Nei
day last I opened the Safe made by your
firm.
- With my knowledge of its great ezpomire
both to the intensity of the heat from so het a
fire, as that which destroyed the Artisan build
ing, as also from the force of - the fall from its
former elevated position in the third story, I
could entertain but slender hopes prior to its
interior inspection, that the contents which I
once so highly prized would ever be of any ser
vice to me but as these fours are now happily
I
removed, feel it only due to say Wyou, that I
can henceforth recommend the use 0f . ..T.0er
Safes to all who may wish to feel a confidence
in the perfect security which such means pro
vides againet so frightful an element.

sive .Fires.
A T the burning of the Artizan Buildings
11 April 10th, and in the GREAT FIRE in
Market &rept; Slay Ist, 1856, the genuine
IdIERRING SAFE preserved the Jewellery of
'Geo. W. Simons & Bro, ; Books, Pagers &c, of
Fisher & Bro. and Edward Seams & Co., af
terzemaining exposed to the burning ruins for
nearly FORTY HOURS, and proving conehz
lively Asa we have always claimed for them
their great superiority over all securities now
known.
In these fires, the HERRING'S SAFE,
standing side by side with those advertised as
"warranted to stand 10 per cent.more fire than
lierrings,"mtme forth the acknowledged victor,
not only preserving their contents in excellent
order, but being themselves in a conditiob to
go through another ordeal, while the boasted
'Salaznandars" of other makers were badly
ned up in every instance, and in some cases
their entire contents completely destroyed._
Tothe public ive would simply say, that,
during the 14 years thnt Herring's Safe 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 the misrepresentation of i nterested par
ties. The Herring's Patent is the only Fire
proof Safe made in this city which is protected
by a Patent Right, and we will. guarantee it to
resist more than double the amount of heat of
any other Sate now known.
