FIRE EXTINGUISHER. FIRE. FIRE. FIRE. ——o—o— THE HARDEN j&k PATENT "STAR" HAND GRENADE, ip-TOT? l?"Y IT?TTVrr^TTTQTTI?"R xHsxsii H'-A-llJMljrUloxllijiXj THE GBEAT DESIDERATUM. Indorsed by tbo 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 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 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 coDquer 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 receited of actual, and what threatened to be severe fires, being gofunder check, and extinguished completely, by these Hakden Stab Geenabes, are sufficient guarantees of their merit, whilst their cheapness brings them within the reach of all property-holders. These Haeden Stae Geekabes 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, ard other Theatres, South Kensington Museums, International Inventions Exhibition, the Public Buildings, 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 Grenades, as in this country of wooden buildings, where firea seem to be a necessary evil, everyone should be possessed of the best means for coping with the same. .'-'-' .
