A late night blaze gutted the Roy L. Berg building once occupied by a second hand shop on Minnesota Street.

Everling Electric Co suffered glass losses while Fred Brust’s furniture was damaged leaving overall losses modest given the fire’s origin possibly due to spontaneous combustion in varnishes and oils.
