BELMONT GLASS WORKS. The first of
last week the Belmont Glass Works
elected the following directors: q. W.
Hoce. f. G. Morgan, &. Hess, John g..
Hoffman, Henry Over and Isaac Booth.
The Directors organized by eiecting g..
w. Hoge President, w. y. Gorby See
rotary and w. n. Boggs agent. This
establishment started in 1865, on quite n
small scale, comparatively speaking, and
is now one of the most reliable and
flourishing establishments in the country.
$500 in original stock is worth So, l25OO
to-day. In the year 1874 they
made 80 per cent, reduced the in
debtcdness of the institution over $4,000
and paid cash dividend of five per
cent. This establishment under the new
management, have made money right
along. but have used it in making use
ful Improvements. During a period of
Zen months in 1874, with one furnace, the
sales of the Belmont Glass Works
amounted to over 1927, 900, and the pros
poets for increasing the amount of their
sales during the same space of time in
the present year, are very fatterlng.
They pay out about 81, 800 every month
to their men, the principal amount of
which is spent in Belaire for goods, &c,
which goes to show the great value this
one establishment is to the general BUSH
ness interests of our young city.
One great reason for the unparalleled
prosperity of the Belmont Glass Works Is
the good officers connected with the es-
adjustment. w. A. Cory, the Secretary
of the works is one of the live business
men of our city, gentleman in every
particular and one who understands his
business in all its departments and at
tends to it every time. The assistant ses-
rotary, Charler Gill, is aprompt energetic
fellow, who is always at his post and
ready for business and the heavy sales
of last year shows that Mr.. Boggs, the
travelling salesman, must have swung
aroung the circle at pretty lively rate.
Mr.. Boggs is very much of gentleman
and just the man for the place. This
establishments is now working on COM
pletc line of new plain goods for the
spring trade. This style Of goods Is
something entirely new and very hand
some. and will no doubt find a ready
market. We wish the Belmont glass
works the fulfllment of their brightest
hopes and anticipations for the year
1875.
