MENf5ADEN OIL AND

Big Building at Mantle Destroyed by
Fire for Second Time.

The Mantle Msnhaden Oil and
Guano company, whose large factory
was located at Giants Neck, in the
town of East Lyme, is without a homo.
the big building having gone UP in
flames during Wednesday night. No
exact estimate of the money loss could
be obtained Thursday, but that it will
amount tc several thousands of dollars
is certain. The building is total
loss and probably much OF the ma
chinery will be good only for the scrap
heap.
The fire seems to have been first
noticed soon after midnight, but it was
impossible to do anything towards
saving the structure, which is a large
three-story building.
Fortunately, the fire occurred at a
time when none of the three fishing
steamers owned by the company were
at the warehouse, the boats being at
New London to be overhauled in prep
ara ton for the fishing season
The whole plant is practically new,
being rebuilt and re-equipped with
new machinery little more than yed-
ago. The former plant was totally
destroyed by fire a year ago last
November.

The Sherwin- Williams Company was
one of them. 1t stands to reason that

OF course, those paints that are
largely composed of water do not need
