The Ball Brother's glass plant in Okmulgee comes to mind first. They made
those famous Ball canning jars.

There was a second glass plant in Okmulgee. It use to be American owned but
some years before it shut down it was bought by a French company. I think
the original name was American Glass Factory, later changed to American-Saint
Gobaine, and that French spell is phonetic rather than literal !!

I don't think either plant is operating today, although they are both still
there. There are mounds of glass shards that really cast a beautiful light
with the sun hits them. They were both going full blast when I live in
Okmulgee during the 60's.

Perhaps the library in Okmulgee could give you some answers to both your
questions.
