Fire at Play-Rite
By Douglas Henderson

Robin Pratt 'phoned me a few minutes ago, about a call he had concerning
a major fire at the Play-Rite Music Roll Co. factory building.

The company lost the Word Roll stenciling machine, their roll inventory
and Play-Rite production masters, the huge paper supply and other equip-
ment, but fortunately all the roll music roll perforators were in a
separate property on the other side of Turlock, California.

According to Robin another stencil device will be invented, and it might
take a year for the company to start up again.  No Artcraft Master Rolls
were there at the time; the three-year-inventory in the Maine storage
building should carry us through this period.  Up to now Play-Rite has
done all the duplicating for us.
