Ace Hardware, 107 E. Center St., was virtually destroyed by fire shortly before 9 p.m. Sept. 3. The blaze was believed to have been caused by a faulty switch box over the fish aquarium in the center of the building. Dense smoke poured into adjoining buildings sending damage well in excess of $100,000. City firemen were able to contain the blaze to an area of several hundred feet in the bend of the L-shaped hardware building; the heat was devastating, melting objects at both the far ends on the Center and Buffalo streets entrances. Ned Maze, owner of Ace, said that much of the merchandise was new Christmas stock.
