Steph Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Changed name from Industrial Window Glass Co. to West Fork Glass Co. on June 30, 1905. (Industrial Window Glass started at least by 1901) Made window glass. Anything else? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownIsland Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I'm from the neighboring town. I believe they just made window glass. They were located in the Broadway neighborhood in the eastern part of town. Here's a link with a old post card of the factory: http://glassresearch.com/glasssite/2.facto.../west_fork.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
