Fire destroys mattress factory in three-alarm blaze
A three-alarm fire gutted the John Holman Company mattress factory at North and Richmond streets, destroying upholstery on the top floors and causing heavy water damage to lower levels. Lieutenant Swan and four men battled smoke on the fifth floor, nearly compromised by fire and a water tower spray. Walter A. Holman and EK D. Lacounte estimate losses at least fifty thousand nine hundred dollars, affecting bedding furniture and retail shops downstairs.
