This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the history of Glass Industry Development in America since Columbus. "The progress of the glass industry in America has been far from constant. It has suffered severe and violent fluctuations, amounting almost to annihilation. Several times it has needed to be born again. But the sum total of these successes and vicissitudes has been the establishment of an industry which, while it is the oldest, is also at the present time one of the most promising and most highly developed of all our industries. To understand its rise and progress, one must be familiar with the elements which go to make it up. Four things are needed to make glass: crude materials; refractory substances for crucibles and furnaces; suitable fuel, and intelligent labor. To make glass commercially, a fifth factor is all important, and that is an accessible market. The history of the industry has consisted in the various possible interchanges between these elements. They are far from permanent..."

Download or read book Glass Towns written by Ken Fones-Wolf and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the central questions facing scholars of Appalachia concerns how a region so rich in natural resources could end up a symbol of poverty. Typical culprits include absentee landowners, reactionary coal operators, stubborn mountaineers, and greedy politicians. In a deft combination of labor and business history, Glass Towns complicates these answers by examining the glass industry s potential to improve West Virginia s political economy by establishing a base of value-added manufacturing to complement the state s abundance of coal, oil, timber, and natural gas. Through case studies of glass production hubs in Clarksburg, Moundsville, and Fairmont (producing window, tableware, and bottle glass, respectively), Ken Fones-Wolf looks closely at the impact of industry on local populations and immigrant craftsmen. He also examines patterns of global industrial restructuring, the ways workers reshaped workplace culture and political action, and employer strategies for responding to global competition, unreliable markets, and growing labor costs at the end of the nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Glassware Old and New: A Sketch of the Glass Industry in the United States and Manual for Collectors or Historical Bottles Collectors of antiquities have recently begun to turn their attention to those curious old designs in glassware which illustrate events of importance in our nations progress, or attempt to portray the features of some of the personages who were prominent in the country's history. On account of the absence of distinguishing marks, the origin of these quaint old flasks and bottles and teacup plates has heretofore been enshrouded in doubt. Whether they were of foreign or American production, none could positively say. Those whose interest has been aroused in this subject have felt the need of a manual which, while throwing some light on the factories where these objects were produced, shall furnish a reference list of known designs. This information could only be obtained by visiting the older establishments which are yet in existence and by consulting the surviving members of the craft, and such of the old mould makers as are still living.
