Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 January 1918 — Glass Factory Shuts Down [ARTICLE]

Glass Factory Shuts Down

Though exempt in the recent fuel order closing factories for five days and ten Mondays, the big plant of the American Window Glass Company at Hartford City was forced to suspend operations. Unless relief comes in a week it is likely the fires will be drawn and the plant closed indefinitely. Considerable fuel is required to keep the fires banked, and the expense is great. The Johnston glass factory there has coal enough to run another week and faces a shutdown.
