CHAPTER V.
SUCCESS OF THE NEW INVENTION .-- INTRODUCTION OF CLOCKS IN ENGLAND .-- TERRY FAMILY, ETC.
We went on very prosperously making the new clock, and it was admired by every body.

In the year 1839, some of my neighbors and a few of my leading workmen had a great desire to get into the same kind of business.

We knew competition amongst Yankees was almost sure to kill business and proposed to have them come in with us and have a share of the profits.

An arrangement to this effect was made and we went on in this way until the fall of 1840.

I found they were much annoyance and bother to me, and so bought them all out, but had to give them one hundred per cent.
