| TEXT | In a work devoted to a minute display of the resources and advantages of this community, the Glass manufacturing industries must occupy a position of importance commensurate with the prosperity and genenil development of Pittsburgh traceable to this source. Conspicuous among those firms that have added no little to the celebrity of our products in this department of trade, the house of Geo. Duncan & Sons must always occupy a place that, in many respects, eclipses all competitors. This firm was originally established, in 1866, by Pipley & Co., assuming its present title in 1874, and composed individually of Messrs. Geo. Duncan, Jas. E. Duncan and A. H. Heisey, all practical glass makers, with a comprehensive knowledge and extended experience in the business, and all natives of this city, the senior partner having been engaged in this vocation for over a quarter of a century. For the specialties, to the perfect production of which this house is devoted, it has achieved a wide spread and splendid reputation, distancing all competitors in the manufacture of Table and Bar Glassware of chaste and elegant designs, finished to a wonderful degree of excellence; engraved, cut, stained and etched in such a manner by new processes and labor saving methods as torival in appearance the finest cut glass, at a vast reduction in price. It is not saying too much to assert that in the production of Table Sets, Elaborate Lamps, and superior Bar Goods the firm of Geo. Duncan & Sons can not be surpassed. The plant of the house is extensive and occupies 18 lots, covering a total area of about two acres, subdivided into factories, mould shops, packing rooms, stock and sample rooms, offices, etc., etc. A powerful engine and boiler are required to drive the machinery, and 150 skilled artizans are employed at an average outlay of 1400 per week. With these and other unequalled facilities the firm transact a trade averaging 150.000 per annum, and extending throughout the United States, Mexico, Cuba, South America, and other foreign countries, contributing greatly to the general wealth of this community, and fostering to a large degree its material prosperity. As a firm the house of Geo. Duncan & Sons is regarded as being at the head of the trade, and is justly entitled to the high consideration, resultant upon an honorable and enterprising career. |
