A Disastrous Fire Affects Two St. Louis Houses
St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 31. — The Bauman-Massa Jewelers’ Supply Co. and the St Louis Clock & Silverware Co., who occupy the four-story building 409 N. 4th St., suffered a most disastrous loss by fire on Wednesday, at 3.30 A. M. The Bauman-Massa Co. occupy the lower floor of the building. Their loss was comparatively small, being principally caused by water and chemicals.
It is estimated that $2,500 will cover their loss. They were fully insured and the fire will in no way interfere with their business. The St. Louis Clock & Silverware Co. occupy the second, third and fourth floors of the building. The fire originated in their salesroom on the second floor, and was due to a defective flue. Their stock was damaged to the extent of $15,000, fully covered by insurance.
These same firms narrowly escaped loss by fire two weeks ago when the Udell Wooden ware Co’s, block, across the street from them was burned. The St. Louis Clock and Silverware Co. were carrying a very large stock at the time of the fire. Everything in their salesroom was destroyed, and the room itself presented the appearance of an old curiosity shop, with its costly plate, its expensive clocks and its fragments of art bronze.
Out of the chaos wrought by the fire the insurance adjusters are rescuing what they could for an underwriters’ sale. O. J. Pfeffer, manager of the St. Louis Clock & Silverware Co., stated that the fire did little if any damage to the stock stored on the fourth floor, and that the fire would not interfere with their business nor delay them in filling orders.

Re: Bauman-Massa Jewelry Co. of St. Louis
The Bauman-Massa Company have again enlarged their wholesale quarters on the second floor of the Commercial Building—the third time in as many years—and for some little time to come will be enabled to transact business with greater facility and convenience to their customers. They have secured over half again as much space as they have occupied heretofore, which has enabled them to entirely change the arrangement of their store and display their stock to much better advantage. With the instalment of their additional fixtures and new arrangement of their salesrooms and offices their quarters will be thoroughly modern and second to none in the trade for good light, roominess and conveniences.

Veteran St. Louis Wholesale Jeweler Meets Death in Automobile Accident
JACKSONVILLE, FLA., March 2.—Edwin Massa, 80 years old and member of the Bauman-Massa Jewelry Co., wholesaler, St. Louis, Mo., was instantly killed at 4.30 o’clock yesterday afternoon on the highway a few miles south of Jacksonville, when the automobile in which he was riding overturned.
In the car with Mr. Massa were Mrs. Comford, wife of Mr. Massa’s nephew; Mrs. Massa and Mrs. J. G. Cantrell. Mrs. Comford was driving. Other than Mr. Massa the occupants of the car suffered slight bruises. Mr. Massa was pinned underneath the car and it was necessary to procure jacks to raise the machine before he could be extricated.
Mr. and Mrs. Massa arrived in Jacksonville several days ago and were guests of Mrs. Cantrell. Mrs. Comford, a resident of this city, had arranged a pleasure ride for them for the afternoon.
When near Green Cove Springs, another machine traveling in the same direction passed the Comford car and cut in too closely. In an effort to avoid a collision Mrs. Comford cut the wheels sharply, causing the car to skid and overturn.
