I deeply felt the loss of my little daughter, and every 7th of July it comes fresh into my mind.
In the fall of 1824, I formed a company with my brother, Noble Jerome, and Elijah Darrow, for the manufacturing of clocks, and began making a movement that required a case about six or eight inches longer than the Terry Patent.

We did very well at this for a year or two, during which time I invented the Bronze Looking Glass Clock, which soon revolutionized the whole business.

As I have said before, it could be made for one dollar less and sold for two dollars more than the Patent Case; they were very showy and a little longer.

With the introduction of this clock in the year 1825, closed the second chapter of the history of the Yankee Clock business..
