THE VITRO MANUFACTURING COMPANY 
The activity of Vollkommer & Company as specialists 
for the enameling, glass and ceramic industries dates back to 
the year 1896, when J. Vollkommer was assistant manager

association with his brother, Theodore J. Vollkommer, an 
expert mechanical engineer, the co-partnersnip of Vollkom-

East Liberty for manufacturing on a small scale. The
