GLASS FACTORY FOR
TARPON SPRINGS.

A new glass company is being form
cd at TarpOn Springs with G. p. Mob
it, prominent hardware man Of that
city, and NJ. l.. Williams, an cX-veter-
mary surgeon from the government
whose home is in the north. The two
men have acquired considerable hold
ings in Tarpon Springs and believe the
Gulf sands and silicate deposits of the
vicinity are particularly adapted to
manufacturing the finest quality OF
glass.
Several attempts have been made
at Tarpon Springs prior to this time
TO build up a glass manufacturing in
dustry, but never have the plans OF
the organizers been carried out. The
silicate deposits In the vicinity are
large and from the analysis made are
well adapted TO the work.
d. +. Conoley OF the Tampa and
rarpon Springs Land Company when
questioned this morning I'm regard to
the new industry, said he knew the
plans were being worked out but had
no very definite Information of It..
MIR Conoley's company are large
holders Of silicate deposits in the Tar
pom Springs territory and probably
control more of this material than any
other firm or individual. so Of course
he is looking forward to the outcome
OF the new concern with great deal
Of interest. In the event the work is
successful It is likely that others will
enter the business soon and II may
not be long before Tarpon Springs Is
one Of the greatest glass eenters In
the country Tampa Times.
