Will Erect Insulator Plant; the Duquesne Glass Company must not be confused with the Paden City firm

Will Erect Insulator Plant.

It is reported that the patents covering the insulator machine invented by John H. Croskey have been acquired by the Duquesne Glass Co., a corporation recently organized with capital stock of $70,000. It is proposed to at once build a plant and go extensively into the manufacture of glass insulators under the Croskey patents. The company are at present using the plant of the H.L. Dixon Co., which is said to be entirely inadequate to supply the demand. Offers for sites for the new factory are now being considered, and it is probable that the company will in a short time decide on a location, presumably in the Pittsburg district. Four machines will likely be installed at the start, and additions will be made thereafter as fast as demand warrants. The Duquesne Glass Co. named above must not be confused with the bottle company at New Martinsville W. Va., bearing the same name.
