Approximately $4,000 damage was
caused to half dozen commission firms
occupying the building at the southeast
corner OF Eleventh and Howard early last
evening, whom fire Of undetermined cause
broke oft in the middle OF the building.
When the fire department arrived. the
board walls dividing the various firms in
the building had been burned out. II is
thought that the blaze started In the
basement Of the Davis Bros company
and worked It's way through the building
on both sides. This, however. is unveri-
fled.
The heaviest losses were sustained by
the A. J. Anderson company. the y,
Blotoky company; s. Caruso and Young
q Burke. The building is two-story
structure and the top floor was filled
with empty fruit crates, etc, by the vari-
Gus firms. When this stuff was reached
II burned rapidly. The lower floor was
fpiled high with vegetables and garden
truck.
The building was originally a four
story building. but four successive fires
in the last decade reduced its size by
half Most OF the occupants OF the build
ing are fully protected by insurance.
