GAVE ROTARIANS INTERESTING TALK
ON THE HISTORY OF THE WATCH

in Bristol turning out the new clock
by the thousands, and rapidly making
a fortune. Jerome was now at the
height of his prosperity. He had the
largest and probably the most profitable
clock business in the country; and in
the few years following the Jerome
Manufacturing Co. enjoyed a brief pc
Rod of great success.
A few YEAR, before the Cival war. the
Jerome Co. failed, and, curiously enough
this failure came about through its
connection with that usually successful
man, P. T. Barnun, the famous show
man. The story is too much compli-
ca ted to be given in detail, but it seems
that Barnum had become heavily inter-
ested In smaller clock company, which
was merged with the Jerome concern.
The generalization of its stock. combined
with misma na cement among the officials
of the Jerome Co. served to drive the
whole business into bankruptcy Barnum
lost heavily, and It took him years to
recover. Jerome never recovered, and
died in comparative poverty.
His long and evehtful life spans the
whole growth of the American clock
business from the days of Eli Terry
and his hand-sawed wooden movements
down to the maturity Of the modern bus
iness supplying, by factory methods and
the use of specialized machinery, mil
lions o. clocks to all parts of the world.

made In Connecticut in fact more than
so per cent. of the whole worlds sup
ply Excluding the Germany comes from
the Naugatuck Valley.
The New Haven Clock Co., which is
the successor of the Jerome Co, is today
one of the largest. AS far back as
1850 it was producing some 100000
| clocks a. year.
The Seth Thomas Co., and others of
| the historic concerns are still at work
| in the various parts of the state.
The keynote of the whole development
was the American invention, which
brought into the time-recording business
the principle Of cheapening production
costs without loss of efficiency. through
the systematic use of machinery on a
large scale,
| Az long as the Inventive brains and
the technical knowledge Of the old-time
era ftsmen found expression only through
his fingers the result would be limited
to his individual production. and the

as well as in quantity, because of spe-
cialization, all the lime its costs were
