Enamelware. The exhibition runs Sept. 24 through Jan. 4 and

of Dan and June Markley and Marty and Tammy Glazier. Also included in
the exhibit will be a display of products that The Jones Metal Products
Company and Jones-Zylon Company are currently manufacturing. Of
interest to collectors as well as local history buffs, the exhibit is
also remarkable for its emphasis on innovative industrial design. On

provide interesting entertainment for your extended family. Museum
