COMPLETELY GUTTED BY IMRE in the early hours of this morning, the premises of the Crystal Products Company, in Lower Rattray street, facing the wharf, presented a very bleak appearance to passers-by when daylight came. Only the brick frontage wall retained any semblance of its original appearance, the remainder of the building being completely burnt. Shortly after 9 a.m. when these pictures were taken, firemen were still on duty guarding smouldering embers. Broken bottles formed a carpet many feet thick over almost tho entire section. (Report, elsewhere).
