FIRE EXTINGUISHER. FIRE. FIRE. FIBE. THE HAKDEN-^K:" PATENT "STAB/ HAND GRENADE, - FIRE EXTINGUISHER, ■ THE GRJBIAT DESID -'TitA YUM. Indorsed by the Chiefs of Fire Departments, Fire Insurance Companies, and Business Houses of America. (PATENTED AUGUST 8, 1871, AND AUGUST 14, 1883) The original and only practical Fire Extinguishing Hand Grenade. When thrown upon orinto fire, Carbonic Acid Gas is developed. Its effect is instantaneous and complete iv fire quenching. No deluging of goods by water. . No goods perrnanentjy spoiled. Harmless to persons or clothing. Has no explosive caps or suses. Is always ready and powerful. • Cannot get out of order. It is cheap and convenient. A lady can use it easily, without fear or embarrassment. There is no poisonous vapour, if it is broken accidentally. IT is not claimed for these Fire Extinguishers that they can take the place of a Fire Department, but simply to enable everybody to conquer incipient fires before a fire engine could reach them, the first five minutes at a fire being worth more than as many hours afterwards. The many practical proofs received of actual, and what threatened to be severe fires, being got under cheek, end extinguished completely, by these Harden Stab Geenabes, are sufficient guarantees of their merit, whilst their cheapness brings them within the reach of all property-holders. These Harden Stab Grenades are now to be found in the Public Institutions, Hotels, Stores, Warehouses, and Dwelling-houses of the United States Cities and Townships. They abe to be seen in the passages of Drury Lane, The Savoy, Globe, and other Theatres, South Kensington Museums, International Inventions Exhibition, the Public BuildiDgs, Hotels, and Warehouses in London, and all throughout the United Kingdom. Householders, tenants, and all property-holders should at once possess themselves of some of these Gr&nades, as in this country of wooden buildings, where fires seem to be a necessary evil, everyone should be possessed of the best means for coping with the same.
