Although a falling wall from the east end of the Goodall Hotel building crushed a side wall of the Marion Baking Corporation plant on Tuesday morning, that company is able to give “Service as Usual” to their patrons as they have arranged for three neighboring bakeries to care for their manufacturing work. When the fire was threatening the building, Manager Harry T. Martin and his crew of men finished their night shift work and then at once removed all the loose equipment and stock. This included the bread wrappers, the racks and supplies. The falling brick damaged the building but not the machinery and equipment, but had they fallen five feet further they would have crushed the big new electric oven and other machinery. As it stands now it is believed that the plant will be closed but a short time as work has already been started on the repairs. The office and sales work will not be interfered with and both their store and consumer patrons will be supplied regularly, as is announced in their adv. today.
