AMERICAN WINDOW GLASS CO. 



The American "Window Glass Co. has 

 adopted new tactics in its effort to secure 

 the trade of the big buyers of glass. 

 Through the establishment of local ware- 

 houses, in the various big cities of the 

 country, it is evidently the intention of 

 the company to cut out to a great ex- 

 tent, the jobber and the middleman, and 

 to do business directly with the big buy- 

 ers. The evidence of this fact is to be 

 found in the establishment in Chicago 

 of a warehouse. M. G. Holding, having 

 been appointed local manager, will 

 liereafter have charge of all the business 

 in the Chicago territory. The new store- 

 house of the company is located at the 

 corner of Canal and Sixteenth streets, 

 the building having been secured under 

 lease for a term of years. 



The decision of the American Window 

 Glass Co. to establish local houses Is 

 largely the result of the successful oper- 

 ation of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. 

 on a similar plan. The company has felt 

 the competition of the independent glass 

 companies throughout the country, as 

 well as of the Pittsburgh company. The 

 expense of administration which may be 

 somewhat enlarged by the new plan, is 

 expected to be more than overbalanced 

 by the greater business which will be 

 done, and the ease with which trade can 

 be conducted. While it is undoubtedly 

 the intention of the company to lessen 

 the power of the middleman, it is not, 

 j>o far as can be ascertained, the policy 

 to cut out the jobber altogether, but in 

 the case of the sash men, the builders 

 and greenhouse men who take large 

 quantities of glass, there will be direct 

 dealings. 



How the jobbers Avill regard the new 

 plan cannot be said, though some of 

 them intimate that it will cut into their 

 business to a considerable extent. The 

 policy of the company has not yet been 

 fully outlined. The new local manager 

 of the company, M. G. Holding, says 

 that he is not in a position to give out 

 .inything which the company has in view. 

 Mr. Holding is one of the best posted 

 men in the glass trade in the west. He 

 was, for more than twenty years, con- 

 nected with the Sprague, Smith Co., and 

 the company at the outset has secured a 

 man who will be able to secure to it all 

 the advantages which are possible under 

 the new plan. 



Council Bluffs, Ia.— Oscar Herman 

 has bought a tract of ten acres at Ninth 

 avenue and Thirtieth street, has erected 

 a boiler room and barn and will at once 

 begin to build greenhouses. 



Muscatine, Ia.— J. E. Kranz expended 

 about $6,000 last summer in modernizing 

 and enlarging his plant. He built two 

 carnation houses, each 22x160, and an- 

 other house, 20x75, which he uses for 

 ferns.
