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

Local indications point to a volumi

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 the fire at the Cloutman Shoe Factory in Farmington NH. Page2, 1918-02-22<br /><br />The article reads:<br /><br /><em>Cloutman Shoe Factory Burns<br />Two Hundred and Twenty-Eight People<br />Temporarily Out of Employment<br />The Biggest Industrial Fire Farmlngton Has Ever Experienced<br />CONCERN TO RESUME BUSINESS IN FARMINGTON<br /><br />The most damaging conflagration that<br />ever visited Farmlngton, reduced to<br />ruins the J. 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

a B . Oarleton,
Christmas ha* everything—hasn't it?
Christmas holds tightly many happy memories, is
loaded with joy and good cheer right now, and pierces
uncertainties of the future with the bright twinkle of
hope.
Christmas lifts yon out of your ordinary self and
pushes you up into being a person far nicer than you
u
have thought you were.
*L
Christmas opens up friendships more numerous,
more delightful and more heart-warming than you knew
you had.
Christmas appeals to allfiveof your senses. Is there
any sight lovelier than gaily wrapped gifts, multicolored
candles, shiny holly and decorations on a Christmas
tree? Isn't mere contentment in the fragrant smell of fir
balsam in the living room and of spicy odors in die
kitchen? Wouldn't the days seem empty without hear
ing again the universally-loved carols and the laughter
of happy children? Isn't self-control overstrained by the
taste of festive, tempting foods? And don't we respond
to the invigorating touch of the sweet air outdoors and
die welcome warmth of home and family within ?

Hayride has full house
for Danny McDonald
The Granite State Hayride
performed to a nearly full house
Sunday
evening
at
the
Farmington Town Hall during a
4 hour benefit show to aid the
family of Danny McDonald, who
was 12 years old that night and
recuperating
from
a
recent
$50,000 kidney transplant Over
$1,000 was added to his fund
Each of a dozen country
singing
acts
donated
their
services and the entire proceeds
were turned over to Danny's
cause
Gubernatorial
hopeful
Meldrtm T h o m s o n of Orford was
a surprise guest at Danny's
party When invited by producer
Don West to address the crowds
of
over
500
the
Orford
candidate explained his deep
pride in a people who would put
themselves out so unselfishly to
help another " I t ' s really a great,
wonderful, thing you people
have done for Danny" Thomson
said, things like this reafirm a
man's faith in people
About 2,000 years ago the
man, our Savior gave his life
that we might learn to love and
to give
Tonight we can share our spirit
of Christmas by giving for
Danny more than we have yet
done
By our giving we can say to all
the world that America is not
sick - America is alive, healthy,
and determined to give so that
all of the Dannies in America
can have a better life
Let us by our good deeds, in
this great effort show thai we
want America to be a better land
for all children than wc found
when we came here "
Thanking the crowd for their
generosity, Thomson left the
stage
amidst
thunderous
applause and pocketbooks were
opened in addition to the
admission charge pegged for
Danny

mother

speechless by the event simph

"Fire Destroys Twin Mills" article from the Farmington News, published in Farmington, New Hampshire on Thursday, December 16th, 1971. <br /><br />The article reads: <br /><br /><p><em>"An explosion followed by fire</em><br /><em>destroyed the four-story brick</em><br /><em>"Twin Mills" on Central St..</em><br /><em>Farmington, Tuesday afternoon.</em></p>
<p><em>The blaze has temporarily put</em><br /><em>between 60 and 65 employees of</em><br /><em>the Davis Manufacturing Co. out</em><br /><em>of work, but Mrs. Robert Davis,</em><br /><em>who Is the managing owner, said</em><br /><em>that plans are in the works to</em><br /><em>reopen.</em></p>
<p><em>"We will pick up the pieces</em><br /><em>and start again" she said.</em><br /><em>Contacted yesterday morning,</em><br /><em>Mrs. Davis said that plant</em><br /><em>officials would spend the day</em><br /><em>with Insurance people, and in</em><br /><em>hunting for available space. Once</em><br /><em>suitable quarters are found, and</em><br /><em>retooling can be accomplished,</em><br /><em>work will resume.</em></p>
<p><em>She hopes quarters can be</em><br /><em>found in Farmington, so that</em><br /><em>work can begin within a week or</em><br /><em>two Mrs. Davis has been</em><br /><em>operating the wood heel shop<br /></em><em>about a year ago.</em></p>
<p><em>No serious injury was reported</em><br /><em>during the 5 hour blaze by over</em><br /><em>a hundred mutual aid firemen</em><br /><em>from 7 communities but</em><br /><em>Rochester Fire Chief Raymond</em><br /><em>Duhurst was rushed to the</em><br /><em>Frisbie Memorial Hospital and</em><br /><em>treated for smoke inhalation and</em><br /><em>fatigue before being released</em><br /><em>that evening.</em></p>
<p><em>The building which has been</em><br /><em>part of the central Farmington</em><br /><em>scene since its construction in<br /></em><em>1882 was presently being used as</em><br /><em>a wood heel shop. Reports have</em><br /><em>it that a short circuit occurred at</em><br /><em>11 30 a.m. on a spraying machine</em><br /><em>for a highly inflammable laquer</em><br /><em>being operated by Miss Joan</em><br /><em>Cardinal and that workmen</em><br /><em>believed that the small fire</em><br /><em>which began had been</em><br /><em>extinguished only to find soon</em><br /><em>that it had broken out In both<br /></em>sections Of the upper story of<br />the building.</p>
