Muncie, Ind., News.

J. H. Cashdollar, a gatherer at the Over factory, is the oldest man engaged in that line of business in the city.

Muncie has likely the oldest working glassblower in the country in the person of Mr. James Dixon employed at the Hemingray factory. Mr. Dixon is but two years short of the 70 mark, but can handle the blowpipe on any kind of flint or green glass with the speediest of the youngsters. He is a man who is loved by all members of the craft and deservedly.
