Glassware in Western Australia
Some time ago the discovery of a particularly high grade of glass making sand was made at Wanneroo, near Perth, Western Australia. The owners of this claim have decided to float a company, called the Crystal Glass Manufacturing Co., of Wootery, Australia (Ltd.), with a capital of £50,000($243,000), divided into 50,000 shares of £1 each. Locally manufactured glass in Australia falls far short of the demand, and Western Australia is so situated that there is a big market near at hand in the Dutch East Indies and Federated Malay States fo goods of this kind.
