HRE! FJRE! FIRE! THE HARDEN PATENT "STAE" HAND GRENADE, (Patented August 8, 1871, and August 14, 1833.) THE original, and only practical and reliable Fire Extinguishing Hand Grenade known ; when thrown upon or into fire, Carbonio Aoid Gas is developed ; its effect is instantaneous and complete in fire quenohing ; no deluging of goods by water ; no goods permanently spoiled ; harmless to persons or olothing; has no explosive caps or fuses ; is always ready and powerful ; cannot get out of order; it is cheap and convenient ; a lady can u-e it easily, without fear or embarrassment ; thoro is no poisonous vapour, if it is broken accidentally. FIKB .LXTINGUIBHER, Ths Great Desideratum. Indorsed by the Chiefs of Fire Departments, Fire Insurance Companies, and Business Houses of America. It is not claimed for these Fire Extinguishers that they can take the place ot a Fire Department, but simply to enable everybody to conquer incipient Urea before a fire-engine could xeaoh them, the first five minutes at a fire being worth more than as many hours afterwards. The many praotioal proofs received of aotual, and what threatened to be severe fires, being got under oheok, and extinguished completely, by these Haede.i Stab Grenades, are sufficient guarantees of their merit, whilst their cheapness brings them within the reaoh of all property-holders. These Harden Stab Grenades are sow to be fodnd in the Public Institutions, Hotels, Stores, Warehouses, and Dwollingbouses of the United States Cities and Townships. They are to be seen in the passages of Drury Lane, The Savoy, Globe, and other, Theatres, Pouth Kensington Museums, International Inventions Exhibition, the Pnblio Buildings, Hotels, and Warehouses in London, and all throughout the United Kingdom. Wo herewith submit a few praotioal proofs as a sample :— .Surrey County Lunatic Asylum, noar Tooting, S.W., February 26, 1885. On Saturday, tho 21st inst., Borne very successful experiments were made hore, demonstrating thn complete efficiency of the Harflou Star Hand Grenades in extinguishing fire. Without going iuto detail, I may add that the Committee of the Asylum, in whose presence tho experiments took place, were so satisfied of the value of the invention, that they ordered fifteen dozen of the Grenades for distribution throughout the Asylum. J. Strange Biggs, M.D., Superintendent. Gloucester Oil Mill, February 21, 1683. To Mr. George Martin, Agent for thoHatdon Star Hand Grenade Co., Stroud. Dear Sir, — On February Ist our watohman discovered a fire at the baok of our boilers. When first he saw it the flames were about 6 feet high. He immediately used one of your Grenades, which checked the fUmeßj but finding they were likely to broak out again, he üßod another one, which completely put out the fire. The fire originated from some old bagging whioh had accumulated, and it is a very difficult matter to put that kind of fire out, as old bags in our plaoe are always very oily.— Tours faithfully, Poster Bros, (per John 1).
