Fire Hits Lindberg Dye Plant in Jamestown
A serious fire at Joseph F Lindberg’s dye manufacturing plant on 947 present st. Jamestown erupted just before noon, caused an estimated 40000 to 45000 dollars in damage, and burned less than 30 minutes. The blaze started in a work room where dyes are mixed on the second floor, likely from a leaky hose near hot plates and gas jets. Lindberg and his brother Ernest were at the plant when the fire quickly grew, delaying discovery before entry to the room. Tomorrow’s sale items listed at Murray and Taylors.
