This from Steve Redick:

I found another treasure. The original newspaper clippings for the Stockyards fire from Sunday, May 20, 1934. Some of the pagers were in rough shape but some parts yielded surprisingly good results. I particularly like the summary of all the suburban companies that responded and the interview with the chief fire alarm operator at that time. My grandfather was at this fire as a member of the patrol.
