Kemmeter, P.J. (Fire scare - 3 JUL 1917)

P.J. Kemmeter while lighting his gas lights in the store window Tuesday evening had a premature and entirely unlooked for explosion of fireworks when his torch accidentally ignited one of the rockets on display and set the whole works going. Prompt assistance of bystanders prevented a serious blaze. A new plate glass window with some repainting and minor repairs will but for the loss of fireworks, make all good again.
