HISTORY
After 24 years in the technical photographic industry, and 10 years in precision etching of miniature circuitry for the micro-miniaturization industry, Ed retired and opened a small gift shop in Naperville in 1971. He filled the shop with giftware, clocks and a room with stained glass. Before long it was obvious that the glass had become the driving force, prompting Ed to devote 100% of the business to glass. As it grew, the store served as a model for new businesses by offering classes and freely providing business advice to a growing group of loyal customers.
