forth with an entirely new idea on

Producers, he thinks. are the really

Why? Because they are so clever

 The first clocks manufactured were of the pendulum type but after a short period lever move- ments were perfected and eclipsed the older type in quantity of out put. By the end of the 18th cen- tury, alarm clocks constituted the bulk Of the production. The first lever movements produced were large but over a period of time were gradually reduced in size un- til about 1890 movements were manufactured measuring about two inches in diameter and one inch in thickness. Some consideration was given to the possibility of as- sembling such small movements into watch cases and after some further reduction in size, this was done. The so called watches which

Waterbury Clock Co.

At this period one of the princi- pal rolling mills producing brass goods was the Benedict & Burn ham Mfg. Co.,, which undertook to produce clocks in addition to pins, buttons and other manufactures of brass. Following it's usual practice of separating from the main busi- ness any branch which developed to a sufficient extent, the clock de- partment was established on March 27, 1858, as separate joint stock company under the name of the Waterbury Clock Co. A. W. Welton was the first president; Charles Benedict treasurer; and Mannaseh Bailey, secretary.
 Manufacturing was carried on In a building across the street from the main works of the Benedict X Rurnham Co.,, and was continued ti,ere for a period of 16 years. Fsr three years the wood clock cases were produced fin the same plant but in 1860, feeling that 1t would be desirable to separate these two functions of clock mak- ing. the management purchased the building of the Cotton Gin Co. at Mill and Pond streets, Waterbury. In 1909 the old building was re- placed by new brick structure.
 By 1873 the Clock company had outgrown the space available for movement manufacturing and the factory of the Waterbury Knitting Mills on Cherry avenue was pur- chased. This was the nucleus of
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-26

Although one today hears much about Waterbury being the Brass City of the United States, 1t was in reality clock and watch making that first brought national and in- ternational fame to this commun- ity. Practically the same factors led to the establishment of both industries in Waterbury; enter prising citizens, skilled workmen, accessible raw material, proximity of markets, abundance of water power and finally the ingenuity of the Yankee settlers who were perpetually seeking to improve their products.
 For . period of approximately 50 years the clock industry was guided and advanced by three men whose names are still familiar in almost every household-Eli Terry, Seth Thomas and Chauncey Jerome.
 Before 1897, clock movements were constructed of wood for which the nearby hardwood forests pro- vided the raw material. Such movements, however, were costly to manufacture, and during wet or damp weather, the wheels and plates tended to swell, affecting the timekeeping quality of the clocks. Consequently when the increasing skill of the brass foundries made possible the rolling of sheet brass with a reasonably high degree of accuracy, the clock makers turned readily to the new material. This substitution did not change the &C., feasibility of raw stock as the prin- cipal brass foundries and rolling mills of the United States were To- cated in and near Waterbury.

BUILDING OPPOSED

City Heads Again Reject
Plan for Separate Struc-

For the second time this month the
Commissioners today declined to ap-
prove move to provide for the cc1-
struction of a separate building to
house the business of the recorder
of deeds of the District.
Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee first introduced bill
providing for selection of site and
construction of a building for the
recorder, to be paid for out Of a Dis
trict appropriation. The Commission
ers opposed that. The new bill pro-
vides for payment of the project out
of losp to the District from the
Public Works Administration, in keep
ing with the plan for a new lower
courts building.
The Commissioners today told Mrs.
Norton: I'VE cannot too strongly con-
denim the proposed legislation and
of money that would be involved in
the erection of a separate building
for the recorder of deeds, when, from
the very inception of the municipal
center project, all architectural plans
called for the housing Of the recorder
of deeds in one Of the municipal
center buildings"
The present plan is to place the

Errors Alleged in Decision
Holding Him Liable for
$500 in Bank.

Col Robert N. Harper of this city
has appealed to the Supreme Court of
the United States, for review of re-
cent decision of the District Court of
Appeals holding him liable for an
assessment of $500 on stock he held
in the North Capitol Savings Bank,
which was closed as insolvent by the
controller of the currency July IA, 1882.
In his petition for a writ of certio-
rari, Harper, through his counsel,
based his arguments on two principal
points.
The court below erred, Harper
claims, in holding the liability of
stockholders of an Arizona corpora

District Of Columbia was by virtue OF
section 298 D. G. Code made identical
with the liability of stockholders OF
national banks.
The lower court also erred, Harper
claimed, in holding that IAN ex parte
assessment made by the controller
without notice or hearing of the liza
bility of stockholders of an Arizona
banking corporation doing business in
the District of Columbia, created 9
liability under the constitutional pro.
visions of the State Of Arizona as in
