Original Toronto Star caption: Smokescreen: Firefighters battled a stubborn blaze at a Queen St. E. mattress factory which spread to two other business yesterday; as dense smoke hampered their attempts to control fires smouldering in bales of stuffing. Tenants living above Mattress King at 893 Queen were evacuated safely; thanks to Tina and Joe Blanchette; who alerted their neighbors.
