Damage of approximately $300,000, covered by insurance, was incurred when the White Furniture Company’s main plant at Mebane was practically destroyed by fire which defied control for about four hours Friday afternoon.
Four fire companies, Mebane, Durham, Burlington and Graham, fought the fire but with little success until the building was almost consumed.
The entire town was threatened and but for the number of fire companies present it is thought the plant of the Mebane Milling Company would have been consumed.
