This was increased in 1919 to $750,000, Its plants are located in Tarentum, Pa., and California, Pa. Tn 1919 a consolidation was effected, in which the Imperial Glass Co. of Charleroi, was merged with the C. L. Flaccus Glass Co. The company maintains selling agencies and warehouses in New York, Philadelphia, Bos- ton, Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit.
