F. Cloutman Shoe Co's big<br />factory wbich occupied tbe site at the<br />junction of Maln, Garfield and Elm streets,<br />last Thursday nlgbt. In less than two<br />hours over a $300,000 loss had been incurred<br />to Messrs. Brown & Daley, owners<br />ot the plant, and although tbe property<br />was insured a big unprotected loss was<br />sustained, the figures of which have not<br />been set. Two hundred and twentyseven<br />hands were temporarily thrown<br />out of employment by tbe raging element,<br />but before the last timbers of the<br />factory fell word went abroad that the<br />structure and Industry would be replaced<br />with all possible speed. Before<br />ten o'clock tbe following morning, plans<br />were being formulated to start the business<br />in temporary quarters while the<br />new shop was being built and equipped<br />for occupancy. A new office of tbe<br />concern was organized in the rooms of<br />the farmington National and Savings<br />Banks and by noon of the following day<br />those out of employment were reassured<br />by the dispatch with which tbe emergency<br />was being handled. The fire<br />which destroyed tbe plant doomed the<br />property even before it was discovered<br />Members of the firm and office force<br />were at work io the office, a one story<br />structure, adjoining tbe sole leather and<br />packing departments, on tbe Main street<br />side, and were unaware of tbe presence<br />of the fire until about 9: 35 when some<br />ladles who occupy rooms in the Frank<br />McDuffee house, directly across the way,<br />noticed a lurid illumination through tbe<br />windows ot the factory and hastened to<br />apprise those in tbe office of the danger.<br />Michael Mack attempted to gain<br />entrance to tbe factory through a door<br />that connected with tbe sole leather<br />room and was driven back by tbe intense<br />smoke and blaze and it was at once seen<br />that it would be impossible to get inside<br />to operate the hose from tbe standpipe.<br />Therefore, a general alarm immediately<br />was sounded from box 45, corner Main<br />and Garfield streets. Moving pictures<br />and other places of amasement were<br />quickly emptied of their patrons and a<br />crowd of spectators were on hand before<br />tbe firemen reached the scene. However,<br />they arrived promptly and under the<br />direction of tbe fire chief, Gyros York,<br />streams ot water soon were turned on<br />the fire which then was ravaging the<br />main structure sections of the two lower<br />stories. Soon, eight lines of hose were<br />playing on the blazs but seemed to have<br />little effect as it was impossible for the<br />firemen to get inside owing to tbe intense<br />heat and smoke and danger from<br />falling machinery which by that time<br />was crashing through the burning floors.<br />Scorching flames burst from the windows<br />ana roof and in spite of the warm<br />and windless night, moving currents of<br />air sucked in through the seething structure<br />and sent tbe flames and sparks<br />mounting several hundred feet in the air<br />until the heat and falling cinders became<br />a menace to buildings within a wide area<br />and a constant watch was kept by citizens<br />and the boy scouts, while details of<br />firemen turned their attention to nearby<br />houses that were in imminent danger.<br /><br />Lines of hose played constantly on the<br />house owned by K. T. Willson and occupied<br />by Dr. Huntress, the garage at the<br />rear occupied by J E. Ricker, the J . F.<br />Cloutman house on Garfield street and<br />tbe McDuffee and W • Uley residences<br />on Main street. The McDuffee place being<br />nearest and in tbe greatest danger<br />suffered tbe worst, the paint being blistered<br />and some water damage sustained.<br />Here tbe boy scouts proved their value<br />as a heroic organization by removing the<br />furniture from the house and the live<br />stock from the stable.<br /><br />The illumination from tbe great blaze<br />lighted tbe sky for miles around and was<br />watched from points of vantage in surrounding<br />towns and cities from whence<br />came insistent calls for reports of news.<br />Tbe telephone line connecting this village<br />with Milton was early put out of<br />commission by tbe cable being burned<br />and wire broken, and much more damage<br />would have been done to the local<br />system bad it not been for the efficient<br />work ot the boy scouts, who, working in<br />well organized patrols, really commanded<br />the situation as regards the telephone<br />system. During tbe most exciting moments<br />ot tbe fire bugle blasts could be<br />heard calling tbe scouts to points where<br />their services were most needed,and too<br />much credit cannot be acoorded the boys<br />for what they accomplished and the cool<br />manner in which they did it. Not until<br />after midnight did tbe crowd begin to<br />diminish. It was an all ntght vigil for<br />the firemen who watcbed tbe flaming<br />mass of burning timbers and debris until<br />daylight. One feature of importance<br />and help in fighting the fire was tbe fact<br />that tbe reservoir was full and good water<br />pressure was available.<br /><br />The original structure of tbe plant destroyed<br />was built in 1873 by John<br />M. Berry and Daniel W. Kimball, both<br />prominent shoe manufacturers of the<br />town at that time. The old shop was a<br />four story building 72x30 feet and faced<br />on Garfield street. Here for a period of<br />years tbe owners did business under tbe<br />firm name of Berry & Kimball. Later,<br />Mr. Berry took over by purchase his<br />partner's interest and manufactured<br />shoes until 1800 when John F. Cloutman<br />Sr., bought tbe shop. During Mr. Clout<br />man's ownership a small addition was<br />built on Main street. At the death of<br />Mr. Cloutman, in December, 1905, his<br />only son, Jobn F. Clontman, Jr., succeeded<br />to the business which he carried<br />on with remarkable success until In May,<br />1917, he sold out to Joseph E. Daley and<br />Elmer J . Brown who incorporated tbe<br />business under tbe name of the J. F.<br />Clontman Shoe Co. During tbe younger<br />Mr. Cloutman's ownership three addi<br />tions were pnt on, two on Main street<br />extending the plant to Elm, and one on<br />Garfield street. During the present ad<br />ministration an addition was built on<br />Garfield,making tbe entire plant contain<br />50,000 square feet of floor space, with a<br />manufacturing capacity ot 250 dozen<br />shoes a day. The pay roll of the concern<br />when doing this amonnt of business<br />was $4,000 weekly,so that the temporary<br />loss of the industry to the town can be<br />estimated at a large sum.</em><br /><br /><br />This is a digital file and does not exist in the physical museum collection.<br /><br />FHS- Kyle Leach

Tbe signal for the big business ami
enterprise that is to contribute largely
to Farmington's future industrial career
was rained OQ Wednesday morning when
operations were commenced iu tbe cut
ting department at the new factory of
the J. F. Cloutman Shoe Company. The
new structure, which was completed on
December 2, has been an undertaking of
almost magic growth, that sprang from
tbe aRbes of tbe burned factory that was
consumed ou tbe site in tbe big confla
gration of February II, 1013. No sooner
was it obvious that tbe old building was
doomed tban it was announced that it
would be replaced with an _up-to date
plant. The fulfilment of tbe prophecy
was commenced early in May, as soon as
the ruins could be cleared away, and a
cement fouudation was laid for the
structure 200 feet long and 42 feet wide,
that would occupy the Main street front
on the area between Garfleld and Elm
streets. As soon as the foundation was
iu the building contract was placed fn

In answer to! an Inquiry from one of
his constituents as to how he will vote
on tbe amendment to the woman snf- (rage question, New Hampshire repre
sentative to the U. 8.- senate, George B.
-Moses, declares that he "will vote against
it" unless the sentiment of New Hamp
shire is expressed for it by tbe official
voice of tbe Incoming legislature, by a
majority vote. That is a '• good stand
and a courageous one, Mr. Moses. Have
your own fearless convictions on matters
and let them dictate your movements

Local indications point to a volumi
nous holiday business for tbe local mer
chants. It is quite evident from the
early trend of shopping that the general
rejoicing o v e r ' t b e restoration'of world
peace will find expression, to a marked
degree, in the time honored oustom of
giving. A general relaxation from tbe
depression o'f war time sacrifices and the
outlook for national prosperity during
tbe coming period of reconstruction is
having an enervating influence on every
body's spirits, and with t h e s e ' b r i g h t
and happy prospeots there is little doubt
that Christmas morning will find full
stockings in almost' every borne in the
community. T b e mercantile district of
our village certainly is a little wonder
land, of brilliancy and sparkle. T h e
abop windows are especially beautiful in
their gala and festive dress and bespeak
an enterprise that inspires enthusiasm.
Aside from the
myriad attractions
of color and light that please the eye,
honest values are apparent from even a
casual observation. Early shopping is
always a mutual benefit to merchant and
customer and often obviates many of
tbe unpleasant features that attend the
rush of tbe last minute. Let's all enjoy
Christmas together, bounded only by
the reserves of prudency and decency
for It is tbe happiest Yuletide in the
history of the world.

Description
An account of the resource
A Farmington News article covering work being resumed at the J F Cloutman Shoe Co factory. Farmington News, Page2, 1918-12-13 <br /><br />The article reads:<br /><br /><em>The signal for the big business and <br />enterprise that is to contribute largely<br />to Farmington's future industrial career<br />was raised on Wednesday morning when<br />operations were commenced in the cutting<br />department at the new factory of<br />the J. F. Cloutman Shoe Company. The<br />new structure, which was completed on<br />December 2, has been an undertaking of<br />almost magic growth, that sprang from<br />tbe ashes of tbe burned factory that was<br />consumed ou tbe site in tbe big conflagration<br />of February 14, 1918. No sooner<br />was it obvious that tbe old building was<br />doomed tban it was announced that it<br />would be replaced with an _up-to date<br />plant. The fulfilment of tbe prophecy<br />was commenced early in May, as soon as<br />the ruins could be cleared away, and a<br />cement fouudation was laid for the<br />structure 200 feet long and 42 feet wide,<br />that would occupy the Main street front<br />on the area between Garfleld and Elm<br />streets. As soon as the foundation was<br />iu the building contract was placed in<br />the hands of Contractor Frank R. Copp,<br />and as is characteristic of Mr. Copp's<br />energy, no time was lost in erecting tbe<br />towering four-story frame that outlined<br />the proportious of tbe big shop. In the<br /><br />course of tbe next few weeks building<br />materials simply flew ioto place while<br />the frame was being enclosed, aod a new<br />contract was placed for laying the<br />matched hard wood floors. As soon as<br />his work was completed, the contract<br />for installing the steam fitting, piping<br />and automatic sprinkler system was put<br />into execution and it is expected that it<br />will be completed the coming week.<br />Plumbing was done by tbe local Read-<br />Esty concern and the wiring and electric<br />fixtures were Installed by the Cloutman<br />Electric Co. All the contract work has<br />been done in a thorough, efficient and<br />expeditious manner that reflects credit<br />on contractors and workmen alike.<br />While there are several small details yet<br />to be attended to on the lower floors, all<br />will be completed by tbe new year and<br />all departments should be running at<br />that time.<br />The plant covers 9,000 square feet of<br />ground, approximately. is four stories<br />high and contains nearly 40,000 square<br />feet of working floor space which is furnished<br />with natural light from 400 large<br />indows. The top story will be occupied<br />by the cutting and a part of the<br />stitching departments; the third floor by<br />the stitching and lasting departments<br /><br />the second by the making, finding and<br />treeing, and the ground floor by the sole<br />leather, packing and shipping, while tbe<br />150 feet concrete basement will be util<br />izid for stock storage purposes. When<br />in full operation, the plant will employ<br />about 300 hands and will be equipped<br />primarily to produce 200 dozen pairs of<br />shoes per day. Tbe big structure has an<br />imposing appearance and bears on the<br />front in large black letters the name,<br />"J. F. Cloutman Shoe Company." Although<br />the enterprise passed out of the<br />Cloutman bands some two years ago<br />and the plant now is owned by Joseph<br />E. Daly and K.J.

Including steel<br />vault and safes. No unsanitary or unsightly<br />conditions will be allowed about<br />the premises, as a complete lavatory system<br />furnishes all sanitary conveniences<br />in each department.<br />During the time that the new building<br />has been in progress of construction the<br />firm has been producing from 100 to 125<br />dozen pairs of shoes per day in temporary<br />quarters It has occupied in the Roberta<br />and Curtis factories on North Main<br />street.<br />The cutting department alone is in<br />operation at the present lime, but the<br />stitching machinery has been moved to<br />tbe new quarters and the other departments<br />are moving as fast as possible,and<br />it is expected that tbe New Year will see<br />tbe wheels well greased and turning<br />throughout tbe big factory that is one of<br />tbe objects of Farmington's civic pride.</em><br /><br /><br />This is a digital file and does not exist in the physical museum collection.<br /><br /><br />FHS- Kyle Leach

did the beat thoy cou!d, for if wo did we should certainly
mention Oluries aL Armstrong, who wont down through the
roof of the "California House" and as pipesman drow ued out

furnituro, but iu a dam iged condition. The first floor front
was occupied by L. L. Finkham, Loots and shoes, on which
there was an insurance of $ 1 0 0 0 .

debris, and even before the fire had ceased to be a subject for
Chas. W . Talpey, Treas^ discussion. And in twenty days from the date of the fire a new
brick factory, 32 x 185 feet, four floors high, was standing on
