National Marketing & Live Demonstrations
Taylor was an early pioneer in industrial demonstration marketing. At national expositions throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the company dispatched master glass blowers to demonstrate live thermometer tubing fabrication and tube-seasoning directly in front of crowds, showcasing precision manufacturing alongside commercial displays of Hohmann & Maurer (H&M) industrial controllers and Tycos gauges.
