'The (Gass) Family is a remarkable one in many ways. In the first place it is rather a large one, there being eight brothers and two sisters, besides the parents, and Chattanooga having always been the home of them all. Another unusual feature is the fact that the eight brothers are all partners in business having two enterprises which they own and operate themselves in Chattanooga. While one brother, Henry Glass, is also president of a large steel company in the South.
They have been very successful and have a large patronage.'
