Probable future growth — At present insulators and soda water bottles. Expect to put in machinery to make flint ware and amber, and then business will be doubled. Business only limited by facilities.

The output of the glass company is not consumed locally, and therefore each sale brings in foreign money. One car of insulators has just been shipped to Pocatello, Idaho, another to San Antonio, Texas, another to Newport, Idaho. A carload of insulators sells from $600 to $750 according to the class of insulator. The Pacific Electric Railway company, the Southern Pacific Railroad company, the Northwestern Pacific, the Santa Fe, the Pacific Light and Power company, the Southern California Edison company purchased their entire supplies from our local glass company. The company has just exported one carload to Manila and are negotiating now with parties in China and Honolulu.
