To see a world
in a grain of sand . . .
This centenary celebrates a hundred years
in the life of a business and a tradition perhaps the
most exciting hundred years in the history of glassware since
the day, 70,000 years ago, when the first natural
glass was found by man. For this centenary is a landmark in
the age of glass. A century ago in Victorian England glass
manufacture was in its infancy. Since those days
a phenomenal change has taken place, in science, in
industry, in the home. Glass is everywhere: and no small part
of it is Joblings glass. After a century of steady
development, Joblings is a great and ever-growing concern,
an integral part of the national economy, creating employment
for thousands. Its products, Pyrex chief among them, sell
throughout the world, and have found their way into
virtually every industry, every household in the country a feat
which could not have been accomplished but for
the loyalty and endeavour of the men and women who,
throughout this century, have worked for the Company.
