- Foster-Forbes Glass Co.by Bill Lockhart, Beau Schriever, Bill Lindsey, and Carol Serr 'Foster-Forbes Glass Co., Marion, Indiana (1929-2000) In 1900, William C. Forbes became associated with Adelbert M. Foster in Chicago, Illinois. By 1929, the connection became stronger with the formation of the Foster-Forbes Glass Co. (Foster-Forbes [ca. 1966]; Toulouse 1971:45-46). The new company was almost certainly related to the demise of the older A.M. Foster & Co. Foster-Forbes seems to have been a confederation of the various older Foster companies, including the A.M. Foster & Co., the Marion Flint Glass Co., and the Upland Flint Bottle Co. (e.g., see Roller 1994:64, also see the respective sections for each of these firms). In fact, the firm initially operated under the corporate charter of the Upland Flint Bottle Co. (Foster-Forbes [ca, 1966]).'
