Furniture Plant Burns at Cleveland 



The A. Claus Manufacturing Company, furniture makers, of 

 Cleveland. O., suffered a disastrous fire recently. The blaze which 

 started early in the morning, did damage to the extent of $ 1 25,000, 

 according to A. H. Claus, president of the concern. The fire was 

 one of the most spectacular in recent years because of a series of 

 explosions that shattered windows within a radius of several blocks, 

 and threatened the entire district. 



As yet no explanation as to the cause has been found. It is un- 

 derstood that the loss was covered by insurance. Definite plans 

 for rebuilding have not yet been announced.
