The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-03-01

W n two very prominent instances, mere
r in the land OF the west, watch FAC
tory has proven dismal ,, and com tnr
In plete- failure as speculation Tor
=. town-booming purposes. 1t was SUD-
stantialIy one and the same watch fac
tory, but it had a wandering career
of misfortune while its chief advocate
was coaxirg stock subscriptions out
of townsite companies in order to tioat
an enterprise in which he demonstrated
his abiding faith by backing it Con terms
of his own dictation) with his experiences
as builder of time-pieces.
Perhaps there was never in the world,
outside of California, a watch factory
which, after being built at vast expense,
provided with costly high-grade ma
chinery, and manned by big corps of
skilled operatives, started out to make
watches for the million and shut down
forever before one of its watches had
reached the market.
in the days of the boom and of free
flowing capital in Southern California the
watch factory agent usnered in his mag
niticent scheme. He succeeded in getting
into the newspapers, and the result was
the creation of a sort of demand for the
watch factory, Money was plentiful,
people coniding, speculation the general
order. and the watch-factory idea was
taken up as a pretty good method of
whooping up the sale of lots in new
locality.
Nobody peered very deeply into the
actual possibilities of the factory. No
body figured on the doubtful results of
competition with the old-established fac
tories of the East, with their stored-up
capital, and all standing ready to outbid
in the open market a new born enterprise
that challenged them to tilt for trade.
The boom was at its height in San Diego
along in the year 1888, when P. H. Wheel
er. an expert matchmaker from the Elgin
(llIfnois) factory, appeared and unfolded
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-03-01

his plans to some OF the energetic citizens.
He convinced a number of San Diego capt.
taists that a watch factory was the very
identical thing they had all along needed
to give permanency to their prosperity,
and 10 be a further allurement for lot
Investments 1t was concluded Wheeler
had great head; that an outlying town
should be made a manufacturing center,
with the watch factory as starter; that
the land around the town should be
bought by the acre and retailed in lots,
and that there was no question as 10 the
certainty of the realization of "a big
thing"
Diego Bay, was selected as a favorable
site. The Otay Watch Company was
formed, and Wheeler was sent East with
carte blanche to purchase the required
machinery. He bought the very best and
shipped it to San Diego. Now the COM
