RUNNING FULL BLAST.

PUBLIC TO SEE GLASS BLOWN.

With a crew of eighty skilled workmen toiling night and day, the California Glass Insulator Company of Long Beach is running at full capacity to turn out orders for telegraph insulators for the Southern Pacific Railroad, the Western Union Telegraph Company, Sierra Power Company and other large western institutions.

An order of 3,000,000 insulators is to be filled for the Pacific States Electric Company this year, and the same amount annually for five years, the total representing $1,500,000.

President Arthur G. Munn issues an invitation to the interested public to go down to the factory at the company's expense, Thursday afternoon and Friday evening, to see the old fashion glass blowing method contrasted with the modern big capacity machine's way of manufacturing glass insulators and bottles. An experienced guide will be in the factory to show the public through, explaining the details of manufacture.

The California Glass Insulator Company is the only concern of its kind in the west, and is now not alone supplying insulators to all of the big electrical concerns on the Pacific Coast, but has developed considerable trade with Manila and China. Two hundred and sixty thousand dollars has been invested in the plant, and from present indications, demand for glass bottles, fruit and milk jars will necessitate in enlarging the factory.
