Century-old glassmaker's bank account seized in dispute with gas supplier

MILTON, W.Va. -- The historic Blenko Glass Co. in Milton stopped production Friday, saying its bank account had been seized in a legal dispute.

"Without a miracle, it will remain shut down," said Katie Trippe, assistant vice president of the 116-year-old company.

The company's gas supplier planned to turn off service at the end of January because Blenko couldn't pay its bill, Trippe said. The glass plant shut down its furnaces Friday afternoon.
