His Owens Bottle Machine introduced automation to glassmaking, in the process eliminating child labor and revolutionizing the glass industry, which had changed little in 2,000 years. His work made it possible for thousands of jobs to be created and changed Toledo, now referred to as the Glass City, and the community.
