FIRE EXTINGUISHER. FIRE. FIXE. FIRE. . * THE HARDEN I|k- PATENT <<STAR" HAM «;RRNADE 9 FIRE EXTINGUISHER, THE GREAT DESIDERATUM. 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 Firo Extinguishing Hand Grenade. When thrown upon or into fire, Carbonic Acid Gas is developed. Its effect is instantaneous and complete in fire quenching. No deluging of goods by water. No goods permanently spoiled. Harmless to persons or clothing. Has no explosive caps of suses. Is always ready and powerful. Cannot get out of ordpr. 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 check, and extinguished completely, by these JHardek Star Gbbnades, are sufficient guarantees of their merit, whilst their cheapness brings them within the reach of all property-holders. These Habden Stab Gbenades are now to be found in the Public Institutions, Hotels, Stores, Warehouses, and Dwelling-liouses of the United States Cities, and Township?. They abe to be BEE& in the passages of Drury Lane, The Savoy, Globe, and other Theatres, South Kensington Museums, International Inventions Exhibition, the Public Buildings, Hotels, and Warehouses in London, and all throughout tbe United Kingdom. Householders, tenants, and all property.holders should at once possess themselves of some of these Grenades, 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. FOR SALE, both Retail and Wholesale, by the undersigned only.—T. and S. MORRIN and CO., Limited, Sole Agents for New Zealand. MORRIjF&CJO., Agents, OWEN STREET, THAMES. j
