Making A Clock Case [Kindle Edition]
A title by Chauncey Jerome, who was a
Clockmaker in the early 1800s. He made a fortune selling his clocks, and his business became enormous. Deciding to
go into business for himself, Jerome began to make cases, trading them to Terry for wooden movements.
In 1850 he formed the Jerome
Manufacturing Co. as a joint-stock company with Benedict & Burnham, brass manufacturers of Waterbury. His
future should have been secure but in 1855 he bought out a failed
Bridgeport clock company controlled by P.T. Barnum, which wiped him out financially, leaving the Jerome
Manufacturing Co. bankrupt.
