Lynchburg Production Records for
Canning Jars
Dennis Bratcher
We have the advantage of access to original production records for Lynchburg Glass Corporation. These were recovered from W. H. Loyd, Secretary and Treasurer and later President of Lynchburg Glass Corporation, by N. R. "Woody" Woodward in 1959. The dates given are for the week ending on that date. The plant ran six days a week beginning at midnight Sunday until midnight Saturday, and production records summarized the preceding week's work.
The records are courtesy of Justin Stoudt. The statistics on fruit jar production were compiled from the records by Dennis Bratcher.
