Damage is expected to run into the thousands of dollars following a fire that raged through Derry's Music Store, 215 East Center St., late Tuesday night, Oct. 12. Two boys told firemen they came out of Breading's Cigar Store a block west and saw the front window of the store blow out from the intense heat inside, which, officials determined, was partially caused by phonograph records and other music equipment and radios that were constructed of plastic. James Derry, operator of the store, said he had received a shipment of record players and other equipment for Christmas. The two-story building, owned by William Chinworth, also houses Kimm Paint Co. on the east and has three upstairs apartments. Carol Stevens, a resident, was able to escape. Firemen were able to bring the blaze under control before it burned through the wall and ceiling.
