 Reported at S140,OOO

Samuel NJ. Davidson and Alexander J. Leventhal purchased the McMillan building on Main street this morning from Dugald McMillan, who last year sold his department store business to the new owners of the building. The purchase price of the building was S140,000. The deal completed a year ago by which the business was trans- ferred to Davidson & Leventhal in- volved quarter of million dollars.
 The building is located on the east side of Main street, opposite Central park and adjoins the Fair Department store, which is also aondtictei hY Messrs. Davidson and Leventhal.
 When the business was purchased last, the new owners took a 10 year lease with an option of purchase. The entire building is occupied by the business. Since taking it over the new proprietors have installed a new front and renovated the building both from the exterior and interior, placing new fixtures and changing the layout of the first two floors. Further changes are contemplated on two ad- ditional floors, the proprietors say.
 Messrs. Davidson and Leventhal have been in business in New Britain since September 2S. 1911, when they

THRILLING RESCUES
 AT W. MAIN ST. FIRE
Fireman Rosanzki Carries W9man Down Ladder From Third Floor
JONES TAKES BOY TO SAFETY
Squires Makes Two Trips to Carry Women Down Back Stairs--Dam- age Put at s2,oo0 Thought Caused by Carcleesness.

Fireman Stanley Rozanski scaled A ladder to the third story of the Ko- lodney building at 423 West Main street last night and carried an elder ly woman to safety after the building had taken fire and the exits were so choked with smoke that escape in that way was made almost impossible.
 Shortly before RoZanslSi went up. Fireman Howard Jones had raced up another ladder to the second floor and carried a 12 year. old lad attired in night clothes to the street. Fire man Harry Squires also made credit able rescues. carrying two elderly women from the third story of the building to the street by means of the back stairs.
 Caused by Carelessness.
 The fire did damage estimated by Chief w. J. Noble at s2.000. It was causd ,as near as the chief has been able to ascertain, by hot cinders pulled out of the furnace on the floor. and allowed to stand close by old boxes and paper.
 Chief Noble received the call at his home at 10:50 and raced to the scene of the fire, arriving there before the apparatus. Smoke was issuing from the exits and in volumes from the rear of tailoring establishment in the building and from the cellar. When No. truck and No. 4 hose chemical companies arrived, Chief Noble sent Fireman Squires into the building to arouse the tenants. He returned with an elderly woman who lives on the third floor and who was too frightened to attempt escape from the building. He brought her safely l to terra firma and then went back, l bringing the second woman to the | street.
 Woman Shouts for Help.
 In the meantime, the front window | on the third floor was thrown open and woman shouted for help. Chief | Noble ordered ladder placed and di- rected Fireman Rozanski to bring the | woman to safety. The rescue was a thrilling one. but was accomplished without any mishap.
 The firemen battled the ire for two hours before the recall was rung in.
 The fire is the second one in the Kolodney building within period of six months. Because of the con strlction of the block, officials of the department say, it is one of the most difficult in the city in which to combat fire.
