Caption: In this photo the workers at Paul Wissmach Glass remove molten glass from a natural gas fired kiln for transport to a set of rollers to create pressed sheets of art glass. The process has changed little from the inception of the company in 1903. Natural gas for the kilns continues to be the major cost for the production of glass at the factory.
