History: Louie Wohinc, an immigrant from Austria, founded the company in Weston, West Virginia. He died in 1950 and his daughter managed the company until 1972. This was unusual for a woman at this time to take on this responsibility in the glass industry. The business changed ownership several times (Princess House, Colgate-Palmolive, Glass Works West Virginia), until in July 2003 it was permanently closed.
