Document Text:

The Western Clock Manufacturing Company paid little heed: they kept on applying, improving, extending their methods. Their clock dials soon spoke the truth: slowly at first, and then by leaps and bounds, they saw their output increase from 50 clocks a day in 1886 to nearly 6,000 in 1907, their staff from 25 to 600, their factory from 2,000 square feet to over 80,000.

The story of The Western Clock Manufacturing Company is not only one of American industrial methods, but also typical of a few men whose ability and energy, faith and loyalty, insure permanent success in individuals and corporations.
