===Hazel-Atlas Glass Company===
[[Hazel-Atlas Glass Company]], the glassmaking giant in a state known for glass production, was created in 1902 by the merger of four earlier companies. The largest glass company in the United States from the 1930s until the 1950s, Hazel Atlas was a major producer of inexpensive ''[[Great Depression in the United States|depression]] glass'' table sets of pink, green, blue, colorless, and black glass. Hundreds of thousands of glass premiums given away in oats, coffee, and other products were made by Hazel Atlas.

Hazel Atlas glass plants in West Virginia included one along the [[Tygart River]] in [[Grafton, West Virginia|Grafton]] (1916–60) that largely produced wide-mouth canning jars, and the world's largest tumbler factory in Clarksburg (1902–87). By 1920, the Clarksburg factory had 15 acres of floor space, employed 1,200 people, and shipped all over the world. The company's metal factories in Wheeling made lids and closures for glass containers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wvencyclopedia.org/articles/343 |title=e-WV - Hazel Atlas Glass Company |access-date=June 22, 2015 |archive-date=June 22, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150622201719/http://www.wvencyclopedia.org/articles/343 |url-status=live }}</ref>
