History of the American Clock Business for the Past Sixty Years,

CHAPTER II
8/10

The pillars were about twenty-one inches long, three-quarters of an inch at the base, and three-eights at the top--resting on a square base, and the top finished by a handsome cap.

It had a large dial eleven inches square, and tablet below the dial seven by eleven inches.

This style of clock was liked very much and was made in large quantities, and for several years.

Mr.
Terry sold a right to manufacture them to Seth Thomas, for one thousand dollars, which was thought to be a great sum.

At first, Terry and Thomas made each about six thousand clocks per year, but afterwards increased to ten or twelve thousand.
