Vintage Depression Era Glassware Makers Volume II: Who is Hazel Atlas? Depression glassware was produced by many glass makers, including Hazel-Atlas Glass Company, during the years throughout and following the Depression Era. The company was originally founded in Wheeling, West Virgina by Charles N. Brady and Charles H. Tallman under the name Hazel Glass Company. A member of Brady's family named the business "Hazel" because the name sounded nice. Each partner invested only $600 to start this small business. Amazing, right? Brady was President of Riverside Glass, a tableware glass maker. Large batches of molten glass were acquired by Hazel Glass through purchases from Riverside Glass. The two men then used an old mill for their manufacturing plant and constructed two day tanks to produce opal glass inserts for jar lids commonly used in canning and necessary for the jars to seal properly. The invention was supplied by Hazel Glass to Bellaire Stamping Com
