The company started out in the
basement of the family home. That was tolerated for a while when
it was a "hobby". But, when Frank Dawson Bliley decided
to convert a part-time activity into a business, his parents
were less tolerant and after
a year, he was told to find another place.

1933-1966: UNION
STATION BUILDING
- 1933
Floor Plan--This
floor plan was found on the back of a draft letter written by
Dawson Bliley and dated June 1933. Total space is approximately
1,000 square feet of "office", "lab", and
"shop" space on the second floor mezzazine area. It
was larger than the back room of Collman's offices, and a very
small fraction of what was occupied a decade later.
 1935 Factory
Tour--These
photos may well be within the space in the 1933 floor plan.
