Edward Drummond Libbey (1854-1925)

Carl White, a long time E dward Drummond Libbey was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts, on April 17, 1854. He was member of the Club, classically educated at boarding schools and wanted to become a minister. volunteered to write His father was William L. Libbey, the general manager of the New England Glass Company a history book to in East Cambridge, Massachusetts, reported to be the largest glass company in the world. He commemorate the bought the business in 1880, and continued to operate it as a manufacturer of fine tableware 100th anniversary of and other household glass. Edward Drumond Libbey joined the company in 1874. He inherited The Toledo Club in 1989. the business after his father’s death in 1883, and soon faced a series of financial crises at the firm. The most serious was in 1886, when the American Flint Glass Workers organized a strike at the company, demanding higher wages. At the same time, soaring fuel costs were cutting into profits. By 1887, New England Glass Company was reportedly losing $40,000 a year with no sign of improvement. Libbey, then 28 years old, decided to move the company to the Midwest, where manufacturing costs were much lower than the highly industrialized East Coast. It was the discovery of natural gas in Northwestern Ohio that caused him to move to Toledo. Toledo had a large labor force, financial and legal talent, excellent rail and water transportation systems, and high quality silica sand was available in nearby Sylvania. Libbey met with the Toledo Business Men’s Committee and agreed to move his company and its 250 employees to Toledo, if the city would provide a four acre building site for the glass factory, and 50 lots within a mile of the site to build homes for some of his workers.The Men’s Committee collected money from 230 individuals through March, 1888, to raise money to buy the real estate. On April 18, 1888, he incorporated the business as “W.L. Libbey and Son.” Fifty train carloads of equipment were shipped in 1888, from the East Cambridge factory to Toledo. On August 17, there was a grand celebration when the main contingent of workers from the New England Glass Company arrived by train from Boston, ready to blow glass in the newly erected glass factory on Ash Street, in a section of Toledo called “Lower Town.” The Toledo Blade newspaper reported that thousands of townspeople turned out to welcome the workers and their families. A band played marching music to escort the workers from Toledo’s Union Depot to a picnic site on the factory grounds four miles away, with bells ringing and whistles blowing. The mayor and other city officials who greeted the arrivals, rode in carriages with Edward Drummond Libbey and his staff through to the new glass factory on Ash Street. The factory started blowing glass on August 22. The startup was successful, however it was soon learned that the new furnace was inadequate to meet the production speeds and quality levels in the old East Cambridge factory, and replacement workers were needed. Libbey went to Wheeling, West Virginia, seeking workers in the late summer of 1888, and there he met a young glassblower named Michael J. Owens. They were an unlikely pair. Libbey was an urbane soft spoken, even tempered, educated gentleman from Boston. Owens was an unschooled, foul mouthed, ill mannered son of working class Irish immigrants, known to use his fists if he felt the situation warranted it. On October 27, 1899, Libbey hired Owens “for the purpose of developing, constructing and testing a new blowing machine.” In 1892, the company name was changed to the “Libbey Glass Company.” But Libbey’s company continued to struggle. To be successful, it would have to become nationally known.

4 The Libbey Glass Company erected a On September 3, 1903, the “Owens Bottle Libbey married Florence Scott, granddaughter beautiful working glass exhibit/factory Machine Company” was formed to manufacture of Jesup W.

The bulk of his estate was left as Company in 1916, which an endowment which continues to fund later became Libbey-Owens- the Toledo Museum of Art today. Ford. It has been said that he has done as much for Toledo as anyone who has ever lived here.

to draw crowds, Libbey decided to allow visitors to apply their admission fee to the purchase of glass trinkets inscribed with the company name. The exhibit became a huge draw, with many coming to see a dress made of spun glass. Spun glass, which would later become the basis for a major new glass company in Toledo, was a brand new technology for a time pioneered by Libbey’s company. The success of the 1893 Columbian Exhibition exhibit finally made Libbey’s company profitable. His brilliant cut glass was featured at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, including a punch bowl described as the largest piece of cut glass in the world.

MEMBERS’MEMBERS’ Information about the origin of The Toledo Club’s JAMJAM BANDBANDby Shirley Levy Members’ Jam Band is as hazy as definitions of jazz itself. To John Fedderke, who plays the saxophone in the band, “Jazz is like playing in a basketball game. You all know where you want to be at the end, but you don’t know exactly how you get there. Things happen spontaneously and unplanned – some good and some bad.” To lead singer Julian Woodard, “Jazz takes the pressure off; I never get tired of it. Talent makes everybody the same. Nobody’s different.” And to pianist Jim Gottron, “Jazz is an expression of playing your own feelings in a song. It’s getting away from the written music and playing it with subtle variations and your own embellishments.” All three have been members of the Members’ Jam Band since it got started in 1984. Although each has a different take on the genre, they are linked together by their versatility, improvisation and danceable interpretations.

“There were five musicians in our original group,” recalls Fedderke. “They were Byron West on the sax, Bruce Cramer on bass, and El Myers on the piano.” “At first we played in the lobby, then we moved to the Red Room. Later, Jack Beardsley joined us on the drums.

25 Rumblingsfrom the oak room

Iwant to begin this month’s article by thanking our GM Ron Pearson. He’s been the butt of my jokes the last couple of months and has been a wonderful sport about it. In my humble opinion, Ron’s a great individual and a pleasure to work for. And I’m not saying this because he told me to, I really mean it. He’s put together a great staff and, along with a proactive board, has done fantastic things here the past couple of years. Borrowing a much used line by the “Boss”, Ron,” Thanks for all you do.” One of the main cogs in the wheel that powers The Toledo Club is our Assistant GM Miguel Cueto. As you probably know by now, Miguel had an accident a couple of weeks ago. All hyped up after a Spanish victory in the World Cup, he and his brother went outside to play. His brother kicked a soccer ball up into a tree and told Miguel to get it down. Miguel, doing his DENNIS Donatini Tarzan thing, climbed high up into the tree and jarred the ball loose. Following Oak Room Director the ball down immediately afterwards was Miguel. It seems Miguel’s weight caused the branch of the tree to break. In an interview for the Blissfield Gazette, Miguel’s brother is quoted as saying, “The ball and Miguel arrived on the ground at about the same time. Fortunately, Miguel landed on his head and sustained only minor damage.” His brother went on to say, “As a kid, Miguel would slam his head repeatedly into a wall when he didn’t get his way. Eventually he would stop, either because he got too tired to continue or, which was the case most of the time, he’d knock himself out.” As of this writing Miguel’s recovery is moving along nicely. When asked to comment for this article, Miguel’s response to the membership was, “Stay thirsty my friends.” Patrons of the Oak Room have my deeply-felt thanks and appreciation for their overwhelming response for donations to pay for the new HDTV that was purchased last June. On a number of occasions I was brought to tears by the generosity of some of our members. The response was so magnanimous I not only was able to pay for the Oak Room TV, but also purchased a 50” Mini Bran Muffins HDTV for my home, made two house payments, and got a beautiful pair of diamond earrings for my wife on our 30th wedding anniversary. Ingredients God bless (is it politically correct to say that?) The Toledo Club. 2 cups orange juice Due to a cutback in the space I’m provided for my articles, I’ll have 2 cups raisins to end here. It’s obvious that the powers-that-be just might be a little 1 1/8 cup light brown sugar 5 large eggs jealous of the success of my monthly column. The “D-MAN” will be 1/4 cup vegetable oil back next time with more of your letters. I’ve been asked by a couple 1/4 cup honey of members to include a drink recipe in my column, much like Chef Preparation Mike does a food recipe in his. 1. Heat orange juice to Luke warm, add raisins, set aside This month’s recipe is for our most popular libation “vodka a la ice.” 2. Beat together on low speed, brown sugar, eggs, oil and honey Take a glass, any size will do, fill it with ice, then pour vodka to the top. 3. Stir in flour, soda, cinnamon, saltand bran. Mix well It’s important to stop pouring when you reach the top to avoid an overflow. 4. Add reserved orange juice andraisins, mix well 5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight to allow the bran to expand Enjoy!!

President’s Dinner Reminiscent of the 1931 picture outside “The Grill”; one magnificent table, a glorious feast, great friendships and a worthy cause; President’s Dinner is an evening where we pick a project & proceeds from dinner make a difference. Members before us built our jewel in downtown Toledo on 14th & Madison in 1915 and we need to work diligently to maintain it. This year we’ll use the proceeds to refinish some of our furniture. Two years ago we refinished the Main Dinning Room’s ceilings and last year our investments in energy conservation have substantially lowered our energy cost. Our General Manager, Ron Pearson, Assistant Look for your invitation Manager, Miguel Cueto, and Chef Mike are busy planning the special evening. . Dinner is $500 and $100 for spouse or companion. Save the date: October 18, 2010 This year our guest speaker will be morning talk show host Paul W. Smith.
