NEW COMPANY WILL MANUFACTURE INSULATORS.
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 the intention of the promoters to at once erect a plant and go extensively into the manufacture of glass insulators under the Croskey patents. The company are at present using the experimental plant of the H.L. Dixon Co., located at Carnegie, Pa., 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 in all probability be installed at the start, and additions will be made thereafter as fast as demand warrants. The members of the Duquesne Glass Co. named above are not connected with the bottle company at New Martinsville W. Va., bearing the same name. |
