The company was forced to rely on fairs and annual dues for all of their operating funds, since petitions to the Borough Council, starting back in 1884, resulted in no assistance. Savings and hard work enabled the young company to purchase a lot on the east side of Downing Ave. on May 04, 1891 to construct a building to house the truck and conduct their meetings." ...
