Per Press Association. Pahiatua, Monday. A fire occurred in the warehouse of the Manufacturers' and Direct Importing Company shortly after 8.30 on Sunday morning. The Fire Brigade was promptly in attendance and extinguished the flames, but not before the building had been gutted. The building was owned by Mr. T. Williams. It was insured for £325 in the Liverpool, Eondon, and Globe office. The stock was insured for £2OOO in the New Zealand office. The loss on the stock is estimated at considerably above the insurance.
