David Fisher, former president and general manager of New Martinsville Glass Company, headed the company. When he died in 1933, David’s son Sam assumed the presidency. Paden City’s start was aided by the acquisition of molds from the Higbee Glass Company, which closed in 1915, and the employment of a former mold maker for New Martinsville Glass Manufacturing Company. Paden City produced pressed lamps, tableware, and vases. Once a form shape style was developed, it tended to remain in the product line. Later Paden City expanded its lines to include hotel and restaurant glassware. The company also acted as a jobber by molding glass for other glass companies.
