Description: "08/15/1969: Eight incendiary bombs were found during the night in the downtown store of the T. Eaton Company. The guard discovered a one-inch square bomb smoldering in a chesterfield in the furniture department of the store. The bomb exploded when it was doused with water, slightly injuring the guard. The devices were of an unusual type, looking like handkerchiefs and containing some chemically treated substance, which ignited when the chemical evaporated or came into contact with water. The Montreal Police Bomb Squad removed the remaining incendiaries. "
