Fire Damages Supplies At Shoe Factory Friendship Fire Company extin- guished “a fire which damaged a storage - house at- the Gerberich- Payne Shoe Co., plant here about 10:30 o’clock Friday morning. The fire is believed to have been started by spontaneous combustion in one comer of a concrete block building, separated from the main plant, On the edge of the fire were huge transformers carrying electric cur- rent to the main plant. In the build- ing were stored gasoline, rubber ce- ment and materials for toes of shoes. The burning materials caused gas fumes and firemen fought the blaze in gas masks. Company officials said they could not estimate the damage at once. The drums containing gasoline and rubber cement were believed safe but the highly inflammable materi- als used for box toes in shoes, scarce because of the war, were de- stroyed or badly damaged. Employes in the plant nearby re- mained at their work. Because of the unusual materials which fed the flames firemen were unable to use water and resorted to chemicals. rl Qf Men CONOY TOWNSHIP BACCALAUREATE MAY 23 .
