SECONDHAND PLATE GLASS
Many Uses Found for old or Broken
Plates by Men who Make IL
n BuHineaa.

Among the innumerable things that may
thus be bought secondhand is window
glass. What with the demolition of old
buildings and the breaking Of windows,
old and new. there come into the market
large quantities of secondhand glass; but
for all this there is demand, for one pur-
pose or another, down to the last scrap.
When a dealer in secondhand building
materials buys a building to wreck for the
materials contained in II he is not likely,
if this building should contain in plate glass
front, to take that out himself Dealing in
second hand plate or, as 1t is called, sal
wage glass, constitutes a business by itself
In New York now.
SO when the house wrecker has a plate
glass front to sell he sends to a dealer in
salvage glass, who comes and looks II over,
measures the plates and notes their con-
dition and makes an Offer an offer that is
likely to be satisfactory, for plate glass is
valuable commodity. and hte dealer is
ready to give what It is worth. Salvage
glass in good condition can be sold at a
price not very far below that of new.
Broken plate glass the house wrecker and
dealer in secondhand building materials
takes to his own storehouses, and this he
may sell along in smaller or larger guam
titles to various buyers. keeping whatever
is not sold in this manner until he has ac-
cumlated a lot of such glass, enough
to pay for handling, when he sells the lot to
a dealer in salvage glass. And the dealer
in secondhand building materials can sell
broken sheet glass to GLACIERS for repair
work
Much Of the salvage dealers stock comes
from the Dlatp siass insurance comnanieS
These companies have different methods.
One company, for instance, keeps no
stock of glass on hand, but buys whenever
glass is required to replace a broken pane
