Book Description Mit zahlr. Abb. Broschiert. Condition: Sehr gut. 101 S. Einband leicht berieben. - The story of the glass industry in Corning is based on an interlocking relationship of individual businessmen, glassmakers, cutters, engravers, and the multitude of companies which marketed their products. The names sometimes become little more than a bewildering list, but these men were the creators of some of the most exquisite glass ever made. Their story begins in Brooklyn in 1864 when the glass works near the South Ferry, formerly occupied by the bankrupt Brooklyn Flint Glass Works, was acquired by the Houghton family of Somerville, Massachusetts. Hoare & Dailey, a Brooklyn cutting firm, owned the company's cutting department. As the Amory Houghtons, Sr. and Jr., strove to make the factory successful, labor troubles and fire conspired against them. Near Corning, meanwhile, Elias Hungerford had patented a glass window blind and was looking for a manufacturer willing to move to Corning. He approached the Houghtons in 1866. Two years passed, but finally Hungerford raised $50,000; the Brooklyn men raised $75,000 and agreed to move. The chief attraction for investors may have been that Hoare & Dailey agreed to open a cutting shop in the new factory, even though their Greenpoint shop continued to operate. In return the Houghtons agreed not to sell cutting blanks to Hoare & Dailey's competitors. Construction of the new factory began in Corning in the spring of 1868 when Amory Houghton and his brother-in-law, Henry P. Sinclaire, came to town as the new Corning Flint Glass Works president and secretary. Corning residents followed the factory's progress with great interest, and when the plant opened that fall, crowds of curious visitors interfered with production. Coming's love affair with fine glass had begun. ISBN 0872900649 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550. Seller Inventory # 915838
