We were guided through by the manager who was awful nice in doing so. He explained how the glass was mixed and put into the huge boilers, which when heated is 270 degrees. Then the glass through pipes went to the machines where it was cut, shap ed and cooled. In this factory they were making bottles only. We went to the section where the designs were painted on the bottles and packed into boxes to go all over the state. This wound up our tour of the glass factory and we started home.
