When catastrophe has struck - hurricane, tornado, earthquake, explosion - one of the first vehicles to roll is the glass truck. The windows of the community must be replaced so that property may be protected and business can continue.

    Plate glass windows are of many sizes. Even among the windows of one store they vary greatly. Where - of a sudden - will all the sizes come from?

    From the well-stocked warehouses of glass distributors and their dealers. All Libbey - Owens - Ford Distributors are local men whose primary value to the community is their intimate knowledge of its needs. They specialize in having on hand always, the kinds and sizes of glass to fit every window in their communities.

    It's this detailed familiarity with the types, sizes and quantities of glass needed in their areas that makes LOF Distributors and Dealers vital links between factory and you, the ultimate user. Furthermore, most LOF Distributors and Dealers are highly skilled at the art of cutting and shaping glass to your specifications.

    Without these services geared to local needs, you would have to order from a distant factory, or have the factory set up warehouses and fabricating shops in your community. LOF thinks you a served best and most economically by these local, independent businessmen whose interests and loyalties are keyed to you and your community.
