were in the delivery department. in which
the office Is located. Fortunately little
water got into this department. and there
was not a large supply Of finished work

on Saturday
Much OF the type and machinery in the
printing offlce was ruined. together with
"A large stock Of paper, cardboard, etc
All OF the work In process Of completion

The laundry suffered chiefly from smoke

l.. Laundry $1,000. Both building and con-
tents were insured. The building is owned
by the Brown and Ives estate.

its way upward beside the elevator.
