Tips Glass Sales Corporation
entity active p2
Sales entity, distinct from the Three Rivers Glass factory, through which Charles Tips continued selling glass under contracts he had already secured after losing the plant to Ball Brothers' 1936 foreclosure. Existed as early as August 1936, before the foreclosure — its pre-foreclosure legal relationship to the factory is unresolved.
Next action: A Texas Secretary of State corporate-filings search for 'Tips Glass Sales' 1933-1937 would resolve the entity's pre-foreclosure legal structure.

Why Track This
The entity that let Tips remain in business after losing the physical plant — the organizational hinge of the whole post-foreclosure story.
Current State
See tips-glass-sales-corporation for full detail. Named in an August 1936 newspaper item as the entity “which sells all glass containers manufactured by the Three Rivers Glass factory,” with Tips as president. After the December 1936 foreclosure, Tips’ title shifted publicly from “President of Three Rivers Glass Company” to “president of Tips Glass Sales corporation.”
Next Action
Texas Secretary of State filings search (1933-1937) to resolve the pre-foreclosure corporate structure question.
Notes
Distinct from — but possibly related to — Tips Glass Company (no plant) and Texas Industrial Investment Company (Houston); see those separate entity records.
