By the fire in Glastonbury Wednesday
night three ivorine mills were destroyed.
By it the J. B. Williams company have
lost property valued at 100000. In
the buildings was stored in various stages
of manufacture between four and five
hundred pounds Of soap. The dynamo
of the plant was also situated in the build
ing, and thousands of dollars worth of
other material. The company will probab-
ly rebuild at once on the old site. Fifty
men or more are thrown out of employ
ment. The plant Of the Williams com
pany has been visited by many New
Haven people, who found tour of the
shops very interesting. They sympathize
with Mr.. Williams & Co., in their disas-
ter. The shops have been of great use in
promoting the property of Glastonbury.
The insurance is somewhat less than $50,
900. Two of the buildings have stood for
dozen years or more and were origin
ally Uuo DIOHCIt5 VI IL ~
Co. Five years ago this firm combined
with J. B. Williams & Co., the manu-
facturers Of shaving soaps, and the plant
was incorporated under the name Of the
J. B. Williams company. Two years ago
the ivorine business had reached such
proportions that an additional building,
175 feet long, as large as both the two
older buildings, was erected in connection
with them. 1t was these three ivorine
mills, two of which were frame and one,
smaller, of brick, that were burned. In
them was stored in various stages of
manufacture between four and five hun
dred tons of soap. The dynamo of the
plant was also situated in the building,
and thousands of dollars worth of other
material. The whole is total loss, the
figures OF which will probably reach
