les battled the blaze. The heav-
lest loss was at the Feldman Broth
ers warehouse where approximate
iy $4,000 in furniture was DESTROY
ed. The Montgomery Ward store
and the Turner building were less
seriously damaged. Fire was dis
covered in the basement of the
Montgomery Ward store around
noohn. Salisbury fremen Were
called and extinguished it. They
were leaving the building when
smoke was seen coming from the
adjacent warehouse basement. It
is believed that sparks from the
first blaze set fire to packing ma
terial. Famed by a strong wind
the flames swept rapidly through
the three-story building The p0-
sition of the warehouse, hemmed in
by other structures, hampered FIRE
mems efforts to confine the fire to
the building. Fearing a repetition
of the confiagration which swept
the business section half a century
ago, a call was sent to nearby
towns. Princess Anne, Snow Hill
Delmar, Fruitland, Berlin, Hebron.
Parsonsburg, and Willards joined
the two local units. Drawing wat
er fro mthe river, the f1remea
brought the blaze under control
just as the Turner building caught
fire. Firemen kept watch for sew
eraI hours in case Of a new out
break. The blaze, one of the most
spectacular there in years, attract
