It is understood that Mr. McAbee retires from active connection with the Hemingray division, but that he expects to continue with the parent company through affiliation with the general headquarters of the organization at Toledo, upon his return from the coast.

Mr. Zimmerman has already assumed his new duties as plant and sales manager. He said yesterday that it is the intention of the general management to continue the manufacture and development of glass insulators and allied products here at the Muncie plant. Every facility of the Owens-Illinois Glass Company will be extended the Hemingray division in the further exploitation of the field in which the name "Hemingray" has been so long preeminently recognized.
