Major fire at Jones and Laughlin Iron Works destroys two buildings
A devastating blaze at Jones and Laughlin's Iron Works gutting the bridge works straightening shop and roll houses, leveling four departments. The fire began in the straightening shop near South Twenty sixth street and spread rapidly driven by wind from the Monongahela. Despite swift response from the fire department, most of the plant suffered severe damage with an estimated loss of 840,000 and 1,000,000 in insured value. many machines may be repairable while some must be replaced as rebuilding starts immediately and orders already on hand are pursued.

Renters shield against fire losses with new insurance
Insurance agent James W. Arrett promotes rent insurance to cover income if rental buildings are damaged by fire. The policy pays lost rent until repairs or rebuilding. The Germania Bank building recently used such coverage and continues receiving rent. Open to executors and trustees, the plan is described as a prudent, moderate cost protection for rental properties. Also announces Natatorium pool season and a note on Columbia bicycles sold by James W. Grove.
