In conversation with a prominent manufacturer of Bellaire in regard to the proposed factory to be built at Cadiz, O., he said: "There must be some reason why so many practical glass men are looking elsewhere for locations for the erection of manufacturing establishments. It is certainly not because the other points have any advantage over Bellaire, either in accessibility, economy in construction, convenience of fuel and material, or better established reputation in the glass trade. There is no point in Ohio more favorable for a profitable glass business than Bellaire, where nearly one-third of the glass manufactured in the State is being produced."
