Rueben Haley

Ruben Haley was a glass designer. Ruben worked for several glass companies, Pairpoint, then later for the Fostoria Glass Company, which was then located in Fostoria, Ohio. A few years after the National Glass Company was formed, Ruben was offered the position of chief designer, a position that he accepted.

While at National Glass Company, Ruben created many pressed glass imitations of cut glass. Ruben had a son, Kenneth R. Haley, who was born in 1905 and died November 7, 1987. Kenneth learned the trade by working summer vacations for his father at the United States Glass Company. Sometime later Kenneth became a salesman for U. S. Glass. When he left there, he went with the old Economy Tumbler Company, which later became the Morgantown Glass Company, as assistant sales manager. While at Morgantown, he designed the Nymph or Dancing Girl. About 1911 Ruben was offered the position of chief designer of the United States Glass Company, a position that he held for more than fifteen years.
