| Commentaires : | The Nova Scotia Glass Company Limted was founded on 18 August 1881 in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Canada. This company issued 5,000 shares, the majority of which were held by local businessmen. Andrew Walker, Adam Carr, Bell, James Eastwood, Graham Fraser and Peter A. McGregor were the first directors of the Company. A New Glasgow Jeweler named James Eastwood, for example, was the owner of 480 shares of Nova Scotia Glass. The factory was established on land donated by Harry Townsend, on the shore of the East River in Trenton. The Nova Scotia Glass Company Limited specialized in pressed glass, and its capital stock quickly rose to 50,000 dollars. The plant was also strategically placed beside the Intercontinental Railway. With the exception of coal from the Acadia Mines, all the raw material needed for glass production was imported. This included sand from Berwick, Massachusetts, soda alkali from England, and manganese and arsenic from locations in the United States of America. In 1890 the Nova Scotia Glass Company was taken over by the Diamond Glass Company of Montreal. Unfortunately, by 1892, Nova Scotia Glass was closed and its molds sent to Montreal. In 1899, the factory was destroyed by fire. According to an article published in the Eastern Chronicle newspaper "there was thousands of dollars worth of goods destroyed, besides several buildings that were of some value. Whatever indentification of their items which is possible in the present is based on shards excavated from the site. |
