The Fredman Brothers-Si Brown store was a complete loss and Fire Chief Lester Menace estimated total damage at "pretty close" to $1 million. Neighboring buildings were damaged by smoke and water and suffered broken windows. The blaze, fanned by winds of up to 35 miles-an-hour, raged out of control for more than three hours. It threatened nearby buildings for a time and fire men extinguished three fires that started in nearby stores. Cause of the fire was not immediately learned.

Firemen fighting the blaze in swirling snow were hampered also by heavy smoke and ice which formed on streets and equipment.

"Reporters stood guard at that broom closet for hours," he said.

"There was nothing in there. Finally, we put in a 25-watt light bulb, enlarged the key hole and hung up a picture of a horse wearing shorts."
