Howard S. Lubeisky. one of the part-
ners, was in the front on the first
floor waiting on customers, and did
not hear the sound of the stove ex-
ploding. The-first he suspected tire

he saw smoke hanging close to the

ed by an alarm from box 16.
‘ ‘Upon the arrival of the tire depart-

on the burning stock, but it made no
impression on the linoleum. Three
streams of water were poured into the
building and items five o’clock before
the tire Was‘put out. after a solid hour,
of hard lighting. The main loss was
camuy smoke and water. The lire-
men were greatiy handicapped in
their efforts because of the great
amount of smoke. Iron bars protect-
ed the rear windows and this left only
airman-door available for the fire-
men to get inside. Valiant work was
done by the Volunteer men. who cut
their way through the "suffocatinx
smoke and pitched the burning mater:

the smoke that the lighters were forc-
ed to work in relays.
