Fire gutted the Kline Manufacturing Co plant on North Alley Lititz last Friday evening causing 35 000 to 45 000 dollars in loss. Fire was seen around the center of the building after an explosion heard by neighbors. The wooden factory formerly Solotone phonographs and now making wooden articles employed about twenty men and stored thousands of dollars in finished goods and raw materials. the blaze likely started near the boiler and the safe door was found torn from its hinges. The incident, with earlier fire in 1917 at the same site, prompted reports of unusual lighting and possible arson but insurance partially covers the loss and operations may resume in Lancaster.
