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.
