A Big Contract. C. Edward Henry, of the opalescent glass works, returned from Chicago Thursday, where he had been on business. While there he took a single order for $150,000 worth of his product, it being a contract to furnish a firm with 10,000,000 glass electric insulators. Mr. Henry favors Chicago as the place for holding the World’s fair in 1892, but will be at the great exposition with his products let it be held where it will. He scooped the world at the Paris exposition this year, and is not afraid to enter for first honors in 1892. Next week Mr. Henry will commence putting additional furnaces and roller presses for making art glass, which will greatly enlarge the facilities of the plant. |
