Old Ice House sa
 Fire Victim
Three Electric Light Poles
 GO Down in Blaze

The old Reidville ice house owned by the Southern New Eng land Ice company, but not used for the past two years, was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning. The alarm at 2:30 o'clock for this spec tacular blaze was followed by two others in quick succession. The dry sawdust and hay furnished an ex- cellent fuel for the flames, which caused such an illumination as to be visible in all parts of the city. The glare attracted autoists for miles around.
 While flremen were on the scene combating the flames a huge motor with gear box dropped from the top of the ice shute to the ground. The flames caused three telegraph poles to fall, carrying with them electric wires. This added to the danger of the fight for the fire men, but they remained on the scene until the building became a mass of smouldering embers. The first alarm of the morning was at 2:28 o'clock. At 2:42 an alarm was received from box GA at the corner of Hamilton avenue and Silver street. Three minutes later box 312 recorded a call from Bank and Meadow streets. The summons from box 65 proved a useless run, someone turning in the alarm when frightened by the glare of the fire in Rockville. The third alarm was for truck, which had caught fire on Meadow street. The machine was the property of Eliz- abeth Schildgren.
 Yesterday morning at 10:35 o'clock an awning fire on the Pa lomba block at the corner of Bank and Grand streets was responsible for call. Box 31 summoned out eight companies for this small blaze. An overloaded chimney at the home of William Garrigus on East Main street required atten- tion at 2 o'clock last evening. Fire men found plenty of smoke. but no fire in the home of Mrs Charles Seibert at 12S Buckingham street
 when called to her residence at S:10 o'clock last evening. The smoke came from a rubbish fire but no actual fire was found in the house. Apparatus from the Willow street station and headquarters an-
 swered this call.

Sears, Roebuck. Spends Millions Annually in
 Conn Products
46TH ANNIVERSARY NEAR

The story of a surprisingly sub. stantial income that the state ha: been receiving in the last two years was told in survey made publis today by Sidney A. Weiss, mana ger of the local Sears, Roebuch store.
 The income was $S,618,685 and it represents the grand total paid by Sears in Connecticut during 1880 and 1891. The figures ap- peared in an elaborate report and analysis of the company's bust ness, prepared by the national of- flee in anticipation of Sears 18th anniversary, September 15 to "A, to all Sears retail stores.
 Connecticut industries profited most heavily. The total spent by Sears for their products during 80 and '31 was $7,767,531.
 Other items in the grand total were:
 $510,331 for wages of resident Sears employees in the state.
 $167,732 for advertising space purchased in the newspapers of the state.
 $173,091 for rents and taxes paid in the state.
 The report pointed out that American industries have been re- ceiving in states where Sears has retail stores around $200,0O0,00l for manufactured products. Il showed also a long list of factories whose payrolls have been provid. ing the livelihood of thousands oi families, which have been chiefly supported by Sears buying organ. ization.
 Attention was also called to the fact of the growing concentration of the Sears buying in. cities and states in which the company ha, retail stores. This, the report said was the practical working out oi the company policy to assist. to thu maximum of its power, in the up building of the cities and commit mites in which the Sears retai units are located.
 A special series of tests that threw the Sears laboratories into extra hour schedules was made or the items that will be featured by Sears stores throughout the coun- try during the anniversary, ac' cording to MT Weiss.
 "Our laboratory testing" he said, lis of an essentially practical nature. That is the laboratories try to ascertain just what service is in any article they test:-how long a stocking will wear; how long. and how we'll an electric washing machine may be operat. ed; what mileage may be expected of tires. - a scientific appraisal of the functions of merchandise in terms of daily experience.
 Because of te high standards maintained by the laboratories, think that Connecticut industrie. should be proud that they have been able to get their products SC successfully through the gruell' ing tests necessary before merchan. disc is accepted by the company The merchandise produced hero must be good. Connecticut items that have passed through our lab. oratories are distributed by Seari in it's retail stores and mail order houses in all parts of the country
