Indianapolis, IN, United States
Manufacture or Glass Tubes.
R. G. Guptill, of New York, is in the city consulting with his attorneys. Messrs. Kern & Bailey, with regard to establishing at Pendleton an industry for the manufacture of glass tubes. Mr. Guptill has made some wonderful developments in the direction of moulding glass tubes for electric wire conduits, gas and water pipes and other purposes. He was attracted to Indiana by the natural gas and has chosen Pendleton as a location, because it is said to be the only point in the State where glass sand is found in abundance.
His enterprise bids fair to be a highly profitable one, and he is anxious to enlist Indianapolis capital with him, failing in which, he will go to Chicago or New York. It is claimed the industry can be established with comparitively little money, and especially in view of the disposition to order all wires under around, gives promise of large returns. Mr. Guptill will probably remain here until the latter part of next week, and says he has faith that home investors will not permit so excellent an opportunity to pass by.
