General note
Photo caption accompanying photos on Page 3: "FIRE DESTROYS PLANTS - Two Hespeler industries, the Hall Foundry Co. and the Standard Castings and Manufacturing Co. were totally destroyed by fire Saturday. The $250,000 fire, which is believed to have started in the welding department of Standard Castings, spread to the nearby Hall Foundry and raged out of control despite the efforts of Hespeler and Preston firemen. Smoke, which poured from the blazing buildings show in photo at left [no suitable substitute], was visible for 20 miles from the scene and attracted large crowds. In centre photo [see 51-2503_006 for closest version] the gaunt walls of the foundry are shown during the blaze. In the twilight of smoke 25 Hespeler and Preston firemen battle the inferno in photo at right [51-2503_007]."
General note
