And that 'waa In tht period when other skilled mechanics were letting from 11.75 to alio day. Of eourae, not an the worker were blower, and not all the blow. era worked In a Jericho shop where tbe big bottles, tbe. battery jars and ine uemijonn were maae, Tnat wu tne top tpov, A man who wu a blower la 1100 had usually begun work a car rying boy, carrying finished bottle to the leer or annealing oven where iney were tempered.

After that he wu probably a mold boy, one who closed a mold on, a bottle. It It wu being blown. FROM MOLD BOY he usually prog rtued to snapping up boy who prepared blown bottle, for the gaffer or finisher. After that ha might di any sort of work on the floor 1 a year or to before he went to the blowers' bench at In apprentice. He worked at an apprentice for flea yeara before he, became a Journeyman blower, and then blew small bottle before he blew the big one in a jericno snep, In 1000 the Olaet work plant wu spread out from a short distance! aoutn or in root or Dutcnee a nue north to We foot of Hoffman afreet, on land now occupied by the Dutton Lumber Co.

This platform 'was tht or eight feet wide, and about three feet ebon th floor. A shop or. group of men and boys worked around each ring holt.
