All responded and appeared at the scene of the flre in short time The Pen Argyl firemen k' pt the blaze in check until neighbor¬ ing companies arrived and when these additional streams were di¬ rected from every corner of the building the flames were soon re¬ duced to smoke. However, it was not until -even o'cloi-k Wednesday morning when the last amb<^rs were distinguished
