Glass Factories.

 

As the times improve throughout Colorado and the West, new manufacturing plants are continually being developed. Among the various manufacturing industries of Denver, the reopening of the Valverde Glass works is of considerable interest, it being the only glass factory situated between the Missouri river and California. Mr. Robt. Good, Jr., in speaking of the business says: "We are running full and can't keep up with our orders. Our factory is making all the soda bottles used in Denver. Orders are now in for about 100,000 soda bottles, beer bottles, and pickle goods also form a large part of our output. This fall we expect to supply the bulk of the fruit jars used in Colorado and ultimately in the entire West. Being a Denver industry, our factory should receive the business of our legitimate territory, and so far we have no reason to complain."
