Looks like Miller was hiring back in 1917.

Yes, this is the same Miller that made the marble machine for Peltier.

Now, where did I leave the keys to the Time-Machine?

----------------

Miller also made equipment to make glass caskets.

Miller was also expanding their facility.

Trying to think of an appropriate response to glass caskets.

Will have to get back to ya .......

Steph,

I made reference to the casket thing for a few reasons:

1) The Wheaton Village Museum of Glass has a glass childs casket on display. It gave me chills every time I saw it.

2) I thought it was interesting that Miller made equipment for its manufacture. Marbles to caskets. Craddle to grave.

3) From a technical prespective, making thick wall pressed glass would have its problems.

4) How much would a glass casket weigh? I'd hate to help carry it.
