Davys Building and Stock Destroyed by Fire in Clare
A Sunday forenoon fire swept the Davys department store and Fleming Shoe Co stock in Clare, destroying the two story brick building erected in 1900. Firemen fought for hours with Barton-Robinson pump boosting pressure, while firms insured for substantial sums faced total losses across dry goods, ready to wear, and shoes. The Davys plan immediate rebuilding and have leased the Snearr building on East 4th Street to resume business within days.
