New Factory in Operation

The Southern Division of the Corning Glass Works, located at Kingsport, Tenn., went into operation week before last. This plant is No. 4, and will be an exclusive Pyrex factory to serve particularly the South.

The factory represents an investment of over a million dollars. Between 250 and 300 men will be employed. The company has purchased a number of model houses for the accomodation and comfort of its employees.

Pyrex wares have met with such a constantly growing demand in the South that the opening of the new plant at Kingsport became a necessity.
