Some Comments on the American Glass Industry

JSGT 1947 V31 T090-T093

 Attention is directed to the paucity of statistics in the UK relating to the glass industry, and to the interest of those published in the United States. In the glass industry of the latter country wage-rates are high, the output per person employed is high and yet the selling price of glass articles is relatively low. Four main factors, namely, increased mechanisation, improved industrial organisation, greater attention to research and the psychological factor of having a worthwhile objective, are mentioned as being essential to industrial recovery and increased efficiency in the glass industry of this country.
