Hartford, Conn. — In the storm of 

 Sunday, December 26, the greenhouses 

 of Eugene S. Drake on Fairfield Ave., 

 were badly smashed by the falling of a 

 chimney weighing twenty tons. The 

 falling bricks not only shattered all the 

 glass In the four greenhouses, but also 

 damaged the heating apparatus, so that 

 it was necessary to use oil stoves and 

 even bonfires to keep the flowers from 

 freezing until they could be removed 

 Into other greenhouses. A force of 30 

 men were at work during a larire share 

 of the afternoon caring for the flowers, 

 manv of which were Easter lilies.

 the thoroughness of our entire organization 

 — the work of many units whose knowl- 

 edge and experience enable our Held forces 

 to carry their work of erection to a suc- 

 cessful completion, with the least expendi- 

 ture of the owner's time and money.
