On February 9, 1891, the New York Times reported on the founding of the company, which included seventeen factories.
One, an automatic facility, was constructed at Gas City, Indiana.
A hand-worked glass operation was also added at Tiffin, Ohio.
The main office started at South 9th and Bingham Streets, Pittsburgh, PA, in the former Ripley Glass facility, and moved to Tiffin in 1938.
It was closed after a storm on August 3, 1963, which resulted in the factory's water tower collapsing through the plant roof.
