TESTIMONIALS. 
“My introduction to African soil was by being pitched out of the boat, luggage 
and all, into the middle of the surf beating upon the shore. Fortunately I 
had one of S. W. Silver & Co.'s Patent Tin Boxes which saved my 
papers. Everything else was dripping wet when rescued, and I myself was picked 
up in the condition of a half-drowned rat.”—MELTON PRIOR, Illustrated London 
News. 
“I may say that the Water-Tight Cases were most satisfactory, one of them 
being under water two hours, through the upsetting of a canoe, without the 
contents being in any way damaged.”— S. PATERSON, Major, 1st A. & S. 
Highlanders. 
“ Gentlemen,— You may be interested in hearing that during my recent journey to 
the coast from British Central Africa (Northern Rhodesia) one of the Air-tight cases 
furnished by you was at the bottom of a river for fully twenty minutes, and that on 
recovery the contents were found to be uninjured—a test which establishes the 
thorough reliability of the article-you supply.”—Yours faithfully, J. SHEARSON 
HYLAND, Ph.D., M.A., F.G.S. Lond. ; late of Her Majesty’s Geological Survey ; 
Geologist and Mineralogist to the Rhodesia Concessions Expedition into British 
Central Africa. 
“We had a very bad passage out, and most of my things were ruined, 
except those that were packed in the Air-tight Tin Boxes supplied by 
your firm ; being in the captain’s cabin, two panels of which were carried away, 
they were floating about for some hours.”—A. BRASSEY.
