kiln room 140 x 70 feet were erected. In 1893 a six story 
building 176 x 110 feet was added to the plant, which now 
extends from South Avenue on the Ohio River to Reedsdale 
Street and contains about ten acres of floor space in which 
are manufactured not only glass melting pots but Tank 
Blocks, furnace linings, lehr tile, floaters, gathering boots, 
pyrometer tubes, crucibles, enamelers, furnaces, muffles and 
smelter furnaces, etc., using annually from 5000 tons to 
6000 tons of domestic clay, a large portion of which comes 
from Missouri, and from 2000 tons to 3000 tons of imported 
lay from Germany.

The company enjoys a national reputation for its 
superior products, which are recognized as the highest 
standards obtainable. 
The company employs from one hundred fifty to two 
hundred workmen, mostly skilled, as the manufacture of 
glass melting pots is a process which requires the most 
painstaking care and attention to detail. Years of exper- 
ience are required to properly select, combine and prepare 
the clay used in their manufacture, as well as to acquire 
the skill necessary to properly build pots to withstand the 
high temperature and extreme working conditions incident 
to the manufacture of glass.
