Unfortunately the ,000 that was raised was not sufficient to purchase and operate the new company, so Mr. Collins enlisted the help of Mr. E. Good. with a check for ,000 provided by Mr. Good, one building, two day tanks, and 50 employees, Mr. Collins was able to begin Hocking Glass Company operations at the Hocking Glass Company
The Company, named for the Hocking River near which the plant was located, made and sold approximately ,000 worth of glassware in the first year
Just when everything seemed to be going well, tragedy struck the company in 1924 when the Black Cat was reduced to ashes by a tremendous fire, Mr. Collins and his associates were not discouraged, they managed to raise the funding to build what is known as Plant 1 on top of the ashes of the Black Cat, this facility was specifically designed for the production of glassware
