" Thd general rule to be always observed is* this : Take the quickest and surest method possible to break the Grenades and scatter the contorts mto the fire. If the fire covers a hard flat ait'tface, like "the walls" or iioor of a room, throw the Grenades hard enough to break them and scatter their contents into the fire. If the fire can be approached cldse enough' to do so, take a Grenade in each hand by the neck, and with right hand Grenade knock the from the left hand, scattering the contents of both into the fire. Shouldifa fue occur amorig soft substances like drapery, a pile of rags, hay, or shavings, where they cannot be approached to break the Grenades into the flame, break the Grenades into a dish and daall the contents Upon the fire. These general directions will enable any oi.e to master a fire of even large extent with these Grenades, by exercising a little common sense. N.B. — It.is the gas generated that extinguishes fire. Frequently testa are made by purchasers 'td^satisly their own curiosity, by eudeaVoUrmg to extinguish a huge open-air bonfire with one Grenade. We do not claim to extinguish bon» fires, built upon the ground, with one or two Grenades. A little reflection will make it apparent to any one that when broken upon such fires the largest part of the extinguishing gas is carried upward and away from the fire by the strong draft. Hence all this class of fires require a larger number of Grenades broken at ihe Jbase of . the^ fire, to extinguish it* the gas. Where the wall of a room is on fire, break the Grenades into the fire aa near the base as possible and the gas will be carried upward, and cover a larger area of flame. We do not claim to be able to control firea that may occur in large bodies of oil, varnishes, etc., iri tanks or barrels, unless taken at the immediate outset, as these articles when subjected to heat are rapidly converted into highly inflammable gases. Hence, even when such fires are to all outward appearances extinguished by the Grenades, a sufficient? d»giee of heat might still exist to cause spontaneous 're-ignition after the fire-extinguishing gas has expended its force. " Do not expect too 'much o* ofle Grenade. Use enough at the beginning to do the work pronely and completely. They are so eiieap that you can afford to use them unsparingly. The great desideratum is something that is SIMPLE, SURE, ALWAYS BEADY ; that will not get out of repair, and that at the same time oan be effectively used by anyone who barmenfe to be near when the fire breaks, out. All these lequhements arc fully met by the HARDEN "STAR" HAND GEENADB FIRE EXTINGUISHER, which has already achieved. in both America and Europe a great reputation, and has been the means of saving thousands of pounds. THEIR PRINCIPAL FEATURES ARE'. — They are small and convenient for handling,, can be hung up around every floor of your dwelling-house, office, warehouse, or Btablcs, accessible at an instant's notice. ,.,-,' They are always ready for immediate use; any man, woman, or child > oan use them efficiently.
