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 original organizers of this Company were:—John Adams, Thos. B. Atterbury, David Challinor, James Campbell, William Doyle, Thomas Evans, A. H. Heisey, Edward Hogan, William C. King, William McMillen, David Taylor. John Adams was President until his death. He was succeeded by William Doyle, who was President until 1894, at which time he was succeeded by A. H. Heisey, who held office until his death in February, 1922. A. H. Heisey was succeeded by Dos Taylor, who was elected President and holds the office at the present time. PreseENT Directors. Dos Taylor, James F. Challinor, William C. King, A. P. Duncan, James Hogan, T. F. Emminger, A. E. Gray. Orricers. Dos Taylor, President; A. E. Gray, Treas- urer and General Manager; J. E. McKelvy, Secretary; T. F. Emminger, Production Manager. 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.
