whistle of the Bridgeport Wood Finish
ing Co., blew an alarm of fire at their
works. The paint department and stor
age building of paint materials, together

ready for shipment were destroyed. By
plenty of hard work and by the assist
ance of plenty of help, the fire was kept
to this one building which was fortunate
Indeed, and it being situated so closely
to the large main building, it seems al
most a miracle that it was saved from
the elements. The railroad bridge, cross

aged slightly. Agent Theodore F. Piatt
