1940 - March 27 - Fire Destroy's 3,500 Chickens, Building as Hand's Poultry Farm
    Fire gutted the Hand's Poultry Farm's main Building early Thursday morning and destroyed abot 3,500 chickens. The loss is estimateds as about $2,000 with insurance only on the building.

    The faulty operation of a stoker, which continued to feed coal into the furnance until the boiler became dry and overheated, is believed to be the cause of the fire.

    The fire was discovered at 2:30 a.m., and had quite a headway when the alarm s ounded.

    The Hands, Walter M. Hand & SOns, had built up a large supply of chickens, which they furnish to restaurants, hotels and individuals for consumption, for the heavy Easter trade, and this made their loss unusually large.

    Not only do they have the los of the building and chickens, but also the business they could normally expect until operations can be resumed

    Work was started Monday on rebuilding the plant, and it is expected the structure will be ready for use in seven or eight weeks. The metal tiers of pens were not badly damaged by the fire, so they will be used in the new building.
      Card of thanks
      We wish to thank the CUlver Fire Department for its prompt response and efficient service at the fire Thursday monring. The members performed ably n the face of odds, and kept the loss from being still greater. - Hand Poultry Farm.
