The Hazel Atlas Corporation was founded in 1885 Wellsburg, WV, by Charles N. Brady and C.H. Tallman. The name "Hazel" was suggested by someone in their family, because they thought it had a nice sound. Originally producing only glass inserts used in zinc lids needed for canning jar closures, they grew into the largest glass-container manufacturer in the world. They moved to Washington, PA, eventually expanding to: Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Alabama, California, New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia, Rochester, Cleveland and San Francisco. They enjoyed a rich history, with many ups and downs. In 1956 they were acquired by the Continental Can Company. At the time, Hazel Atlas was the third largest glass container manufacturer in the United States, unfortunately this move lead to their demise. It is said that bad leadership, greed and anti-trust issues contributed to their problems. Continental Can Company sold Hazel Atlas Glass to Brockway Glass in 1965. The Wheeling WV building was donated to the West Liberty State College in 1966.
