sive franchise to mako glass IN that
State for 15 years. It turned out to be the
first successful glass making plant in the
United States. 1t is reasonably possible
that this was the first franchise ever
granted by a legislative body.
Glass bottles were first made at Pitts
burgh, Pennsylvania, in 1876, and that
city is still an important glass making
center.
There are now a total Of 34s glass manu-
featuring establishments in this country.
The aggregate capital invested in these
industries is $i53, 100000 The value of the
total annual output is $2oo,0o0.0O0 at the
factories. To operate these great plants
requires the services of $4,000 operatives.
More than seventy per cent. OF the glass
manufactured in this country is made in
the four States of Pennsylvania, Ohio.
Indiana and West Virginia.
People first commenced using bottles
four thousand years before the birth of
Christ. The first bottles mentioned in
history were made of the skins of
animals, mostly goats. These are the
kind of bottles to which reference is made
in the Holy Scriptures. Strange to say.
skin bottles are used to this day in South
ern Europe for carrying water and wine.
Certain Asiati6 and African tribes also
still use skin bottles for the Transports
ton Of water. Many italian peasants of
the present generation use dried gourds
as bottles.
Tho ancient Egyptians we're noted for
the exquisite workmanship and design of
the bottles which they wrought from
gold, ivory, stone and alab;lsssr

AERO CLUB AND
ENGINEERS SOCIETY
Joint Meeting Of Two Organiza.
tons to Be Held in Burlington
March 10, With Address by
Colonel Brant of the Air
Service

Joint meeting Of the Aero club Of
Vermont with the Vermont Society of
Engineers will be held in Burlington,
Wednesday, March 10. James Hardness,
president OF the Aero club Of Vermont.
and candidate for governor. will be one
or the speakers. Plans have Just been
completed whereby Col. G. c. Brant, air
service, of Fort Schuyler. n. Y. will give
an address at this meeting. II Is ex-
pected that Colonel Brants talk will he
along the lines of engineering from the
air, particularly in connection with
topography from the air, This will be the
eighth annual meeting Of the Vermont
Society of Engineers, OF which Charles f.
Purinton of this city is president. Thur
man w. Dix Of this city is chairman Of
the committee on arrangements for the
engineers.
Owing to war conditions, the Aero club
of Vermont has not held a meeting for
several years. This will be, therefore. a
sort of revival of the club. and it is er-
pected that unusual interest will be
shown, owing to the great increase in air
traffic during the last three years, and
to the fact that Vermont Is rapidly be-
coming and air State, with landing places
throughout its borders. The annual meet
ing Of the Aero club will be held in the
main dining room of the Hotel Van Ness
at 10 o'clock in the morning of March 10,
and a record attendance Is looked for.
Veterans Of the air service during the
World War are urged especially to attend
this meeting and help promote the air
program in Vermont. and all those in
terested in the navigation Of the air are
cordially invited to be present Further
plans for this Joint meeting will be an
nounced later. 1t is probable that there
will be other speakers than those men,
toned. as the entire program has not yet
been completed.

MAKING BOTTLES
Americas FIRST Factory Produced Them
Were Used In 1000 II. c.

Bottles, at some time or other, play an
important role in the lives OF most peo-
pie. 1t frequently happens that a bottle
is the first object seen and clutched by
wee babies. Medicine bottles standing
on little table, are often the last objects
seen by people before embarking on their
long journey.
Between the milk bottle and the medi-
cine bottle there are sometimes a wide
range of bottles-both as to size and con-
tents.
In an absorbing romance Of American
business. II is an interesting fact that
the first Industrial enterprise started on
the North American continent was for
the purpose of manufacturing glass bot
ties. This factory war erected AT James,
town, Virginia, in tho year 1913. 1t was
operate! by some glassblowers who were
among the early colonistB who settled in
tho Old Dominion.
During the present turbulent recon-
struction era, whom much is being said
and written about American manu-
farturers going after foreign export
trade. It rs OF mor- than passing interest
to recall thai the products OF that little
Jamestown bottle factory were the first
articles ever -xpored from North Amer
lea.
but just when this New World industry
was getting nicely under way, along
came the famous Virginia tobacco boom,
which soon became so popular that the
glassblowng element of the colonists
decided they preferred hoeing and smok-
ing to blowing.
1t was not long thereafter, however,
that the indians in and around Virginia
made it known that they much preferred
glass beads to bottles beef brandy or
tobacco. Whereupon some OF the pro-
sressive and far-seeing jamestown live
wires induced some Italian glass workers
to cross the ocean and convert the old
bottle factory into a bead plant
A few years later some promoters
started a bottle factory at Salem, Mass
achusetts. Tho town officials of that
period were evidently hustling aggrega-
ton on the lookout for the development
of their town. They Immediately boosted
the new indsutry by voting it a loan of
thirty pounds. The factory was not a
success, and Salem is still whistling for
it's thirty pounds.
During the time the Dutch were rum
ming things on Maintain Island, n bottle
factory was built near Hanover Square.
In l754. a Dutch gentleman named Bam-
Der built glassworks in Brooklyn. The
first bottle blown by him bearing the
name and date. is now In the collection
of the Long Island Historical society.
Glassboro, \. j., was founded by a
colony of German glassmakers in ITS.
But it was not until the close of the
Revolutionary War that, glass making
became permanent industry In America.
