FIRE.
BLAZE IN MASTER-TON SHOP. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) MASTERTON, Oct. 14. Volumes of thick smoke pouring from a two-storey wooden building in Queen Street -this evening made the -task of the Mas-berton lire brigade a difficult one in dealing with an outbreak of fire in the shop of W.

The building, owned -by Mr A. Bradford, suffered some damage on the ground floor with slight damage upstairs, but the stock was very considerably damaged. The building was insured for £llOO, ■the stock and plant for £440 and the furniture and personal effects for £l5O.
The need for protection against fixe loss is obvious. Consult the Mercantile and General Insurance Company, Ltd. Local Agent: E. Hardley, Victoria St., Hawera. ’Phone 2474.—Advt.
