QUICK WORK SAVES
BAKERY FROM FIRE

Quick work on the part of the fire
department saved the new Vance bak-
cry in the Doris building at Jefferson
street and Third avenue from serious
damage when flames threatened it
shortly before noon yesterday. The
blaze started in the coke room of the
baking department and was first dis
covered by Frank Vance, who was
working with his brother, Bert Vance,
and three employees, in the main room
of the plant.
1t is believed that the greatest dam
age incurred was the soaking of part
of a $4,000 stock of flour in the second
story of the building, but no estimate
was given as to the extent of the loss.
Firemen protected themselves with gas
masks and worked directly over the
blaze. quickly bringing it under con-
troll before it spread further than the
second story room in which it orig
mated.
