Frank we have had discussions pertaining to Haley's operation before as the Carney KS location cited simply does not exist. About three months ago I ran across an older report of a U.S. EPA hazardous site clean-up for a glass, brick & smelter operations industry in Caney (not Carney) KS & asked Tom Felt, Curator of the WV Museum of American Glass & Editor of All About Glass if he could find any further info.
Tom's comments are below:
"The American Flint Glass Workers Union archives come to our rescue this time around. Local Union 155 represented the workers at the American Glass Co. in Caney from 1948-1961, when American Glass Co. discontinued operations. (And, yes, it IS Caney.)
In 1927 the Sanborn fire insurance maps show a single glass factory in Caney, the Diamond Glass Co., manufacturers of bottles. By 1936, when the final Sanborn maps for the city were issued, this factory had become the Connelly Glass Co., but was no longer in operation -- so there was a factory building that could well have been the one occupied in the 1940s by the American Glass Co."
