SANDWICHES GLASS INDUSTRY
Has Been Revived, After BEING Aban-
doncd fer About IS Years.

Sandwich Mass, May 19.-The great
est industry Of this little Cape Cod
town. and the greatest industry of Cape
Cod as well, the manufacture OF glass
ware, has been revived after having
Virtually been abandoned for 25 years.
Sandwich was once known as the
glass manufacturing center Of the Unit
cd States and the products Of the
Sandwich glass works went to all quar-
tcrs Of the globe, but for the past quar-
ter Of century the industry has been
iii state Of stagnation so far as Sand
Wich was concerned. All this has now
changed. The big furnaces have been
lighted, the batch is fused into glass,
the blowers fashion their product into
form and the cutters and decorators
bcautify it. The week just ended saw
the revival of the industry.
In Sandwich the details Of the glass
workers trade have passed down from
one generation to another for more than
three-quarters of a century The glass
making industry was established here
in 1925. The company operated its own
line Of steamers and sailing vessels. In
c"ursn Of time the stock OF the COM
pany passed into the hands Of a single
Individual and upon his death the IN
fustry languished. For more than Is
years the works have been idle most OF
the time and the glass workers have
moved away.
Recently the plant was secured by a
new company. the works were enlarged
ana improved. new machinery and fur
naces were installed and preparations
were made to begin the operation OF
the factory that has made Sandwich "a
nous.
