PITTSBURGH PLATE GLASS COMPANY

The Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, which was a
consolidation of several independent plants, was incorporated
 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 Pennsylvania,
 Kokomo, Ind., and Crystal City, Mo., and window
 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 Company
 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 Pittsburgh
 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-President,
 H. S. Wherrett, Vice-President, Ludington Patton,
Vice-President, H. A. Galt, Vice-President, C. R. Montgomery,
 Secretary, Edward Pitcairn, Treasurer, Clarence
M. Brown, General Counsel, S. S. Lindsay, Comptroller,
J. F. Cargill, Purchasing Agent, J. M. Belleville, Traffic
Manager.
