Salesrooms in 51 leading cities of the United States, Great Britain and France ------------------ The History of Glass-Making "Glass was known in Egypt in the pyramid period (say, more than two thousand years before Christ); and glass-blowing is known to have been practiced in the remotest antiquity from pictures of men doing the work. "That the Romans used their glass for window-making is evidenced by the windows that have been found in Great Britain, dating from the invasion of England by Julius Caesar half a century before Christ. "One of the very first articles manufactured in this country by the early European settlers was glass; and the first American glass known to have been made was produced near Jamestown,Va., in 1608. "In a letter he wrote to the Free Society of Traders in August, 1683, William Penn refers among other things to 'tannery, sawmill and glassworks.' Where the latter were located is not known. "The first Pennsylvania glass-house west of the mountains was erected by Major Isaac Craig and Colonel James O'Hara in Pittsburgh in 1796; and these, by the way, were the first works to use coal as fuel. The cost of such an undertaking may be gathered from an entry found in Colonel O'Hara's papers after his death: 'Today we made the first bottle at a cost of $30,000.' "In New Jersey, the start of the glass industry was made at Allowaystown, in Salem county, in 1760, by a German named Wister, who failed in 1775 when his workmen went to Glassboro and established the industry there."
