. Annual catalogue of the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store, connected with the New England Farmer Office, No. 51 & 52 North Market Street, Boston. 64 /. Breck Co.'s Catalogue of PATENT FIRE PROOF WROUGHT IRON SALAMANDER These Safes have been several times tester!, and found lo an- swer completely, the purpose for which they are designed. In order to test their resistance of heat, one was placed in a Furnace in Wall Street. New York, and a blast kept up for 18 hours sufficient to melt the stones of which the furnace was con- structed, consuming 72 bushels charcoal, and the safe with its con- tents, came out completely safe and uninjured. Also a trial was made in State street, Boston, by placing in the same furnace, one of Scott's Asbestos safes, one of Gay lot's Double, and one of the Salamander safes ; and a blast applied to each, consuming 150 bushels charcoal, and the result was, tltat Sott's Asbestos, and Gaylor's Double safes, were completely destroyed with their contents in less than two hours,and the Salamander remained in the furnace 14 hours, and then came forth uninjured, and turned out the books and papers in a perfect state. The proprietors have no hesitation in recommending the Sala- mander safes, as the best article now in use for the protection of books, papers, ttc. against fire, and being fitted with first rate locks, are perfectly secure from thieves. They are made of wrought iron, in the most faithful manner,of different sizes, and also to order at short notice.
