J.E. Inman is trying to operate the old Riverside Glass Company plant for insulators

No Insulators for Wellsburg.

In our issue of last week it was stated that J. E. Inman represented a company which was trying to raise capital with a view to placing the factory formerly operated by the Riverside Glass Company at Wellsburg, W. Va., in operation in the production of glass insulators, the success of the venture depending upon Wellsburg citizens subscribing for stock in the sum of $20,000. This week a gentleman called at THE BUDGET office to inquire whether we knew of an idle glass factory that could be turned to account by a new company. He didn't say what his name was, but he did say that he was the gentleman identified with the Wellsburg proposition. He further stated that there would be nothing doing in the way of making insulators in the Ohio valley town, and incidentally paid his respects to the "grouches" in Wellsburg who could not see their way clear to become stockholders in the insulator proposition. Possibly some of them were stockholders in the National Glass Company which for a time operated the Riverside factory.
