Disastrous Fires in New York 



Since the foregoing article was prepared 

 the Eecord regrets being obliged to report 

 one of the most disastrous lumber fires the 

 city of New York has ever experienced. 

 The big lumber yard of Moore Brothers at 

 Twenty-fourth street and Eleventh avenue, 

 Manhattan, was totally destroyed on Octo- 

 ber 5, the loss amounting to more than 

 $100,000. Fortunately, Moore Brothers are 

 fully insured. However, the loss comes at a 

 bad time for this big and enterprising house, 

 because it had an exceptionally fine stock 

 of dry hardwoods, which it will be difficult 

 to replace to take care of its fall business. 

 Undeniably the house will restock its plant 

 and continue in business. The fire was a 

 severe one and the big plant of I. T. Will- 

 iams & Sons at Twenty-fifth street and 

 Eleventh avenue and other property adjoin- 

 ing narrowly escaped destruction. 



Moore Brothers have received many tele- 

 grams and letters of condolence offering 

 any assistance they may require in replen- 

 ishing their stock, which amounted to more 

 than two million feet of exceptionally fine 

 hardwoods. 



Another New York fire of the week is 

 the plant of the Empire City Woodworking 

 Company at One Hundred and Thirty-first 

 street and the river, which was badly dam- 

 aged, losf, amounting to $40,000.
