New York, Dec 29, 1535. Mr. John Scott Sir In answer to your inquiries, wo believe that your Patent Abestos Chests are fully as good, if they do not surpass, any other chest that we have ever seen. We therefore recommend them to the attention of all persons who wish to supply themselves with Iron Chests. The following facts will enable every person to judge: At the time of the great fire on the 16th, we had two single (one of them of your manufacture) Iron Chests, in which we put our valuable books, papers, notes and money.

The chests were exposed to the same heat for seven hours and on being opened, your chest was found to have preserved every thing that had been put into it, but of the other chest, not a vestige was left nnconeumed. Very respectfully, Your most obedient servants, HUBBARD CASEY. The above was the only Patent Abestos Chest that was in the late fire, and numerous witnesses are willing and ready to testify to the truth of the certificate. Papers are perfectly secure in these chests from thieves, as several attempts have been made to open them, without success, of which several certificates may be seen at the office ef the subscriber.
