Every one knew it was all a humbug trying to stop the pedlars from coming to their State.

We removed from Richmond to Hamburg, S.C., and manufactured in the same way.

This was in 1835 and '36.
There was another company doing the same kind of business at Augusta, Geo., by the name Case, Dyer, Wadsworth & Co., and Seth Thomas was making the cases and movements for them.

The hard times came down on us and we really thought that clocks would no longer be made.

Our firm thought we could make them if any body could, but like the others felt discouraged and disgusted with the whole business as it was then.
