A very informative article on the glass manufactured at the Lancaster and Lockport works.

Awesome article

"High tariffs protected our manufacturers by making imported goods more expensive to the American consumer than goods produced in America. Also, the high tariff on imports made more federal money available for internal improvements."


Maybe we should try that...[8|]

Ummm... the sign says principal output included whimsies?

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong -- I thought whimseys were non-production items made by glass workers during slow times.

Maybe the workers had a lot of time on their hands at this plant.[;)]

Errrr, the sign actually says "whimseys." Perhaps the sign maker or town fathers were just feeling whimsical that day. I get like that myself from time to time...
