Fire damages King Leather Goods plant and home fires
A North Ninth street King Leather Goods plant suffered a major fire early Friday with an estimated loss of 15000 dollars. The blaze, the second in six years, confined to the factory with little wind aiding containment. About twenty workers face unemployment as rebuilding looms after insurance adjustments. In a separate incident, a fire at the home of Mr and Mrs A N Fetterman in Armstrong township left eight people homeless. Only minimal insurance coverage was available to cover the losses.
