Glass industry In America.

Glass was first manufactured In
America by the people OF jamestown.
Va, during the year 1916. Comment
Ing on this fact, John Smith lamented
that "the labor Of the colony has been
misdlrected In the manufacture Of
ashes, soap. glass and tar, In which
they could by no means compete with
Sweden or Russia" The Inhabitants
Of jamestown did not agree with this
view, however, and soon afterward
commenced the erection Of a glass
works. the completion Of which was In
terrupted by the Indian massacre Of
1922. The first glass factory In North
America to attempt the industry on an
ambitious scale was built In 1850, at
Temple. N. H.. by Robert Hewes Of
Boston. The workmen. 30 In number.
were. Germnp deserters from the Brit
iSh army. The carelessness Of work
man caused the destruction Of the
plant by iire In 1881. In 1903 glass
factory was established In Boston. and
since that time the industry has -four
ished.
