Excerpt from History of the American Clock Business for the Past Sixty Years, and Life of Chauncey Jerome, Written by Himself The manufacture of Clocks has become one of the most important branches of American industry. Its productions are of immense value and form an important article of export to foreign countries. It has grown from almost nothing to its present dimensions within the last thirty years, and is confined to one of the smallest States in the Union. Sixty years ago, a few men with clumsy tools supplied the demand; at the present time, with systematized labor and complicated machinery, it gives employment to thousands of men, occupying some of the largest factories of New England. Previous to the year 1838, most clock move ments were made of wood; since that time they have been constructed of metal, which is not only better and more durable but even cheaper to manufacture. Many years of my own life have been inseparably connected with and devoted to the American clock business, and the most important changes in it have taken place within my remembrance and actual experience. Its' whole history is familiar to me, and I cannot write my life without having much to say about Yankee clocks. Neither can there be a history of that business written without alluding to myself.

Chauncey Jerome (1793-1868) was a Clockmaker in the early 1800s. He made a fortune selling his clocks. Jerome began his career in Waterbury, making dials for long-case clocks (grandfather clocks). Jerome learned what he could about clocks; particularly clock cases, and then went to New Jersey to make seven-foot cases for clocks. By 1837 Jerome's company was selling more clocks than any of his competitors. Jerome had made a historic contribution to his industry when he substituted brass works for wooden works. This is the story of Jerome's life as a clock maker.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
