PITTSBURGH PLATE GLASS COMPANY The Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, which was a consolidation of several independent plants, was incor- porated in 1895. Its principal business is the manufacture of plate glass, which it sells over the world. The capacity of the company is about 50,000,000 feet of plate glass and 1.200,000 boxes of window glass per annum. The company owns and operates plate glass factories at Creighton, Tarentum, Ford City and Charleroi in Penn- sylvania, Kokomo, Ind., and Crystal City, Mo., and win- dow glass factories at Mt. Vernon, Ohio, and Clarksburg, W. Va. Plans were recently completed for the merger of the Columbia Chemical Company and the Patton Paint Com- pany with the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, with a total authorized capitalization of $37,500,000. Acquisition of the chemical company was accomplished in order to insure to the glass company a supply of soda ash, while the glass company already had a controlling interest in the four paint and varnish companies comprising the Patton-Pitcairn interests, with no minority interests in any of the concerns. The consolidation gives the Pitts- burgh Plate Glass Company assets of $61,000,000 or $23. 500,000 in excess of the capitalization. The Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company has about 8,000 employes on the pay roll. The new organization is as follows: W. L. Clause, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Charles W. Brown, President, E. B. Raymond, Vice-Pres- ident, H. S. Wherrett, Vice-President, Ludington Patton, Vice-President, H. A. Galt, Vice-President, C. R. Mont- gomery, Secretary, Edward Pitcairn, Treasurer, Clarence M. Brown, General Counsel, S. S. Lindsay, Comptroller, J. F. Cargill, Purchasing Agent, J. M. Belleville, Traffic Manager.
