CROWLAND FIRE
Adelman Stores badly Damaged in Tuesday Morning Blaze
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 3 February 1921]
About ten minutes to six on Tuesday morning, smoke was noticed issuing from a cement block building, on the corner of South Main Street and Seventh, in the Township of Crowland. Investigation showed that the clothing store of Frank Adelman was on fire. Before water could be brought to play on the flames the fire had spread to the store adjoining, a grocery establishment belonging to Eli Savocic.
The new Crowland Ford fire truck was immediately brought into service and played two streams upon the burning building. Welland department was also notified, although just who the informant was can not be at present discovered.
Both stores were badly damaged, and the stock destroyed. It is understood that Frank Adelman was moving his place of business and had nearly all his stock removed at the time of the fire. The place and stock was insured for $2,000. The grocery store carried an insurance of $1,000 on the building and stock, and $200 on the fixtures.
The cause of the fire is unknown at the present time.
