About eighteen months after completion, this plant, together with a large quantity of finished products and raw material, was entirely de- stroyed. Undaunted by this misfortune, the owners im- mediately set to work and in January, 1909, a new plant, considerably enlarged, built in a very substantial manner, and completely equipped, resumed operation. The business since that time has been incorporated and operated success- Fully as The Vitro Manufacturing Company. Some of the materials manufactured are prepared en- amels for steel, cast iron and copper, coloring oxides, es- pecially prepared to give enamels and glass any desired color or shade; enamel white and vitrozircon, materials developed to replace the expensive oxide of tin in white enamels; vitrifiable colors and gold compounds for decorat- ing glass, pottery and tiles; ceramic chemicals such as chromium oxide, cadmium sulphide and uranium products ased as coloring mediums for the glass, enamel, pottery and rement industries. All raw materials and finished products are manufac- tured and controlled by chemical and ceramic methods. In addition to a well equipped plant, this company has re- cently built and equipped a laboratory for research and development of new products, as well as plant control. This laboratory is in charge of an expert research chemist and the staff includes practical enamelers, engineers and ceramists. Vitro products are distributed not only in the United States and Canada, but also in South America. Europe, Australia and the Orient. The main office of the Vitro Manufacturing Company is at 928 Fulton Building, Pittsburgh, Pa. It is a Pennsyl- vania corporation, with a capital of $250,000. Josef Voll kommer is president, J. W. Wenning vice president, Theo- lore J. Vollkommer secretary, H. E. Roemhild. treasurer. 0 yy - S D n 3 A 0 &® > % a © 2 ‘on
