PARK BROTHERS LUMBER COMPANY
Dairy
November 1, 1920: "The pumping plant of the Park Brothers Lumber Company at Dairy, burned to the ground last night, entailing a loss of $500. New machinery was rushed out from this city today and the plant will be in operation tomorrow. Numerous reports were in circulation that the entire plant had burned but those reports were erroneous.
The fire started from gasoline vapor that came in contact with a lighted lantern, causing an explosion that ignited the entire building into a flaming mass. No damage occurred outside of the pumping plant." (The Evening Herald)
