photograph
shows
the
Libbey
Glass
Company
building
in
Toledo
,
Ohio
. In
1883
,
Edward
Drummond
Libbey
(1854-1925)
inherited
the
New
England
Glass
Works
from his
father
.
Within
a
few
years
,
Libbey
recognized
that the
Massachusetts
factory
,
faced
with
new
England's
rising
fuel
costs
and
growing
labor
unrest
,
could
not
survive
unless
it
relocated
.
Libbey
looked
at
several
sites
in the
Midwest
, but
Toledo's
cheap
natural
gas
,
access
to
major
shipping
and
rail
lines
, and
high-silica-content
sand
gave
it
an
edge
of the
other
towns
. In
addition
,
Toledo
could
offer
Libbey's
workers
many
amenities
,
including
a
school
system
,
libraries
, and
musical
organizations
. The
New
England
Glass
Works
broke
ground
for its
new
Toledo
location
in
March
1888
, and its
workers
and
portable
equipment
arrived
by
train
on
August
17
to
great
fanfare
. In
1892
, the
name
of the
company
was
changed
to the
Libbey
Glass
Company
.
Date of Original
1888
circa
