 FTER years of effort
and the expenditure of a large amount of money, Colburn's friends
finally lost confidence in his process, though they still retained
their faith in him.
Practically all of the many window glass
manufacturers who had followed his experiments up to the day the
patents were put up at public auction regarded the patents as of
no value. There was one man, however, who had the vision and clear
insight to see just what was needed in the process to make it an
undoubted success. That man was Michael J. Owens, the master
inventive mind in the American glass industry for the last twenty-five
years.
