The company operates nine producing plants, five in Pittsburgh, Pa., two in Glassport, Pa., one in Tiffin, Ohio, and one in Gas City, Indiana; also two general decorating shops and one special shop. It has a thoroughly exper- ienced and efficient organization and employs approxi- mately 3,000 people. Each plant has all the necessary equipment for the production of its particular line of ware, as well as the facilities for cutting, polishing, etching and decorating, where this work is done.

Branch sales display rooms are also main- tained at New York, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, London, England, Sydney, Australia, Mexico City, Mexico, and Havana, Cuba.
