manager Clapp Back From New York
Manager Clapp of the Golden Rule
store, who has been in New York on
buying trip for the past five weeks,
returned home Wednesday. Mr.. Clapp
was in New York city at the time of
the big explosions of munitions lying
on the docks of Jersey City. The first
explosion occurred at a. M, at which
time Mr.. Clapp was attending a meet
ing of the buyers of the j. C. Penney
stores on the 18th floor of one of the
downtown skyscrapers. The building
rocked and swayed and for a few mo-
ments pandemonium reigned. As soon
as they learned the cause he, in COM
pany with several of the other buyers,
went down to the Battery to witness
the confagration that ragged on the
docks opposite. The spectacle was
awe-inspiring. The detonation of the
exploding shells equalled the noise up
on battlefield. Fire tugs, darting
everywhere, great walls of flames
lighting the heavens, made the night
one that will linger in the minds of the
spectators for years. He says every
other plate glass window along Fifth
avenue and Broadway was demolished
by the force of the explosion. It was
estimated that the damage in this one
particular will exceed $5,OOO,OOO. Dur
ing his absence Mr.. Clapp placed or
ders for an enormous quantity of
goods for the Golden Rule store of
this city and the one at Williston.
