PIMA AGAIN/37T= WORLD
EVANS & WATSON, Nte. 26 South Fourth
street, Philadelphia, have had the street
demonstration,, in the following certificates
that their mane:metre of Sedanekeder Safes
has at length fully warranted the representa
tions which have been made of them, as ren-
dering an undoubted security against the ter
rific element:
PAILLDELPHIA, April 12,1856.
Massa. Evans it WATSON :--fients—lt fig
fords us the highest satisfaction to state toyon
that owing to the very protective qualities o,
two cif.thoSalamander Safes which' we pur
chased of boa some months gnu we tumid a
bilge porlion of our jeweliy, balks, papers,
Ike., exposed to the calunitotia dre in flan
stead Place, on the morning: if the 11th
instant,
When we reflect that these Safes were loca
ted in the fourth story of the building we oots
pied, and that they fell subsequently into ft
heap of burning ruins, where the vast concen
tration of heat caused the brass plates to men
nb cannot but regind the preservation of thi
valualde contents as most convincing proof o
the great security afforded by your Safes.
We shall take much pleasure In recom•
mending them to men of business as a'sure re-
Bantle against the lire. •
GEO. w. SIMONS & BRO.
PaiLangumta, April 12, 1866.
1111181413. EVANS & WATSON have to offer
you my testimony in favor of the great "acuity
afforded to my entire stock of jewelry, books,
papere r during the recent disastrous can
thigratios in Ranstead Place, from the fact
that the same were contained in two of the Sal.
amander Safes manufactured by you. • -t
Having liken from the filth story of ths'
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
worn the ravages of fire, I shall not hesitate to
recommend the use of your Safes, as I consid
er they have mow undergone the most trying
ted. N. E. MORGAN.
• PniunsteniA, April 12, 1856.
Means Duns & WATSON :--dentleMen—
NO doubt you will be deeply gratified to learn
the good condition in which I dirriovered my
hook, polioy of insurance, certificates of stock,
and other valuable documents, when on Fri
day last I opened the Safe made by your
firm.
With my knowledge of its great exposure
both to the intensity of the beat from so hot a
fire, as that which destroyed the Artisan build
ing, se also from the force of the fall fin= its
former elevated position in tie third story, I
could entertain but slender hopes prior to hs
interior inspection, that The contents which I
once so highly prized would ever be of any ser
vice tome but u these fears are now happily
I
removed, feel it only due to say to you, thatl
can henceforth recommend the use of your
Safes to all who may wish to feel a confidence
iu the perfect secanty which such means pro
vides against so frightful an element.
