Fire ravages Wescott box factory and nearby shops in Cedar Rapids
A Tuesday morning blaze in Higley’s building on Iowa Avenue damaged the third story, destroying stock and furnishings in Wescott’s box factory and injuring other tenants including Dawley & Metcalf printers and the Times office. Firefighters contained the flames, preventing worse plaster and structural damage. The report notes water damage on first floor tenants and discusses a plan for two proposed excursions to the South, along with local caucus results and ads for remedies, shops, and public notices.
