Book excerpt: Its corporate name is hardly a household word, yet Owens-Illinois, Inc., located near a small town in northwestern Ohio, is the world’s largest manufacturer of the glass bottles and jars used to provide food, beverages and medicines every day to millions of people around the globe. Unlike most corporate histories, The Glassmakers, Revisited, is a page turner....a book filled with illuminating facts and interesting anecdotes about the company that became a global giant due to the mechanical genius of Michael J. Owens, who, in 1903, invented a machine to blow bottles, automatically, and Edward D. Libbey, the astute glassmaker who bankrolled him.
