Nome Beverage Bottling
Plant Destroyed In
Early Morning Fire
This morning at 7:00 a.m. smoke
was seen from town at the Nome
Beverage Co. plant and the fire
department was alerted. The fire,
which was reported to have pos
sibly started in the middle of the
building, probably from oily rags
from a recent paint job, was put
out without much damage.
At 8:30 the fire department was
again called out to the beverage
plant where the fire was reported
again and had completely envel
oped the building. Due to the
strong wind blowing this morning
and the head start of the fire, the
bottling works is reported a total
loss.
Nome Beverage is owned by
John McNees, who started bottl
ing yesterday, it is reported, after
being closed down for some time.
